Morgan Gibbs-White enjoyed winding up his former Wolves fans as Nottingham Forest won their Carabao Cup quarterfinal via a penalty shootout last night.Gibbs-White had the last laugh against his former club as Nottingham Forest's penalty shoot-out win over Wolves sparked a huge melee soon after the final whistle.

Gibbs-White left boyhood club Wolves to join Forest for £25million last summer, and provoked the away fans by sliding in front of them in celebration and putting his fingers to his ears when Forest's win was sealed.

When Forest goalkeeper Dean Henderson, the hero in the shoot-out with saves from Ruben Neves and Joe Hodge, repeated Gibbs-White's gesture, it seemed too much for the Wolves players, with Adama Traore, Matheus Cunha and Toti Gomes all involved in the confrontations that followed.

Several stewards were forced to intervene during the ugly scenes - which even injured Forest star Jesse Lingard - who played no part in the tie - appeared to be apart of.

As Forest fans absorbed the ecstasy of reaching the semi-finals, there were separate scuffles breaking out all over the pitch.
