However, Osman had been tuning in to hear Shay Given criticise the decision to award a penalty to Everton during their game against Luton last night.

Jarrad Branthwaite was judged to have been pulled down in the area by Teden Mengi before Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the subsequent penalty in the 1-1 draw.

But speaking on Football Focus before Saturday's 3pm Premier League games began, former Newcastle and Manchester City goalkeeper had called the penalty decision "soft".

When the broadcast went over to Osman after Callum Hudson-Odoi scored his first goal of the game for Forest, the ex-Toffees man took the chance to call out Given.

He said: "Jason I just wanted to say to Shay it was a definite penalty kick last night for Everton against Luton. I heard you just saying that it wasn't so I just wanted to pull him on that before I go."

This led to chuckles back in the studio, with host Mohammad then cheekily replying: "Can we get Leon Osman to concentrate on his own game please."

He added: "[Is there] Anyway we can lose Leon Osman?"

Mohammad then rounded the exchange off by saying: "Fantastic, great stuff you two."
