The Nottingham forward was substituted in the 62nd minute of the game, and 14 minutes later, Wood received a yellow card. Chris left the technical area and went to the stands to give autographs to fans.

“If those are the rules, then those are the rules. I just did something nice and tried to give the fans an autograph,” France 24 quotes Wood.
