Yesterday, Nottingham Forest lost valuable points in the race to maintain. Indeed, the team coached by Nuno Espirito Santo lost 2 to 0 against Everton. She is therefore 17th with 26 points and only a small length ahead of Luton (18th, 25 points) and three ahead of Burnley (19th, 23 points. Sheffield United (20th, 16 points) is left behind. After the defeat, Forest, who considers himself wronged by the arbitration, published an incendiary message. “Three extremely bad decisions – three penalties not awarded – that we simply cannot accept. We warned the PGMOL that the VAR was a Luton supporter before the match, but they didn’t change it. Our patience was tested several times. The club will now consider its options.
Harsh and strong words which did not go unnoticed by the FA, which reacted this Monday. “The Premier League was extremely disappointed to read the comments made by Nottingham Forest on social media yesterday, following their match against Everton. We note that the FA has confirmed that it will investigate the club’s statement. It is never appropriate to unduly question the integrity of match officials, and the nature of these comments means that the Premier League will also investigate the matter in relation to League rules.” This could cost Nottingham Forest dearly, if the FA decides to sanction them.
