LEE Camp kept his first clean sheet for Nottingham Forest and then rebuffed Doncaster's claim that the ball crossed the line for a "goal" in a controversial incident.

It came late in the game when the Reds goalkeeper failed to hold on to Jamie Coppinger's 20-yard shot.

After the ball squirmed through his hands and headed towards goal, Camp raced back, diving to punch off the line.

The assistant referee was 20 yards away and, despite protests, the referee waved play on to the fury of everyone associated with Doncaster.

It did not stand and Forest went on to earn a first clean sheet in 12 games.

And Camp, 24, on loan from QPR, told the Post: "I do not think it did cross the line. They are going to appeal against it but it happened so quickly. When it popped out my hand I thought it was pretty close to me and it turned out it was.

"I did not get it to grip but these things happen. Because the ball did not shoot off that quick I got back and got my arm around the ball to clear but it did not go over the line."
