Cardiff spurned two penalties in injury time with John Ruddy saving from Gary Madine and then Junior Hoilett shooting against the bar.

It was a climax that defied belief and Nuno sprinted onto the field at full time without shaking Warnock's hand.

Warnock was then seen repeatedly telling Nuno to f*** off as the Wolves boss tried to shake his hand following his celebrations.

Nuno apologised after the game, saying his emotions got the better of him.

But Warnock said: "I don't give a t*** what Nuno says.

"I won't accept his apology. It's a lack of class (and a) total disgrace."

"I don't accept it at all and I think it's totally out of order. I think he was a total disgrace, I used strong words and I meant every one of them.

"He's got to learn that in British football you have manners and a bit of class when you've won a game. You've got to learn that I'm afraid.

"I don't think I'll go into my office until after he's gone. I don't want to see him tonight if I'm honest. I thought it was a great game and it didn't need to end like that."
