LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Nottingham Forest appeared to question the integrity of a match official in a social media post published soon after a 2-0 loss at relegation rival Everton in the Premier League on Sunday.
Precise shots that flew in off the post by Idrissa Gana Gueye in the 29th minute and Dwight McNeil in the 76th clinched a crucial victory at Goodison Park for Everton, which boosted its survival hopes in a bid to preserve its 70-year stay in the top division.
Soon after the match, a post from Forest’s official account on X, formerly Twitter, criticized the failure to award the visitors a penalty.
“Three extremely poor decisions — three penalties not given — which we simply cannot accept,” the post said.
Forest said it warned the referees’ body ahead of the game that the person overseeing the video review for the match “is a Luton fan.” Luton is in third-to-last place, a position and one point below Forest.
