Nuno Espirito Santo, the manager of Nottingham Forest, vented his annoyance at the Video Assistant Referee when Brighton & Hove Albion’s Jakub Moder avoided a red card for a shoddy tackle on Neco Williams during their 1-0 Premier League loss yesterday.
In the 67th minute, midfielder Moder—who was subsequently replaced—lunged in and caught Williams on the ankle, earning him a yellow card. VAR reviewed the event, but Moder did not receive a warning.
With ten games remaining and a loss, Forest is now in 17th place, three points above the relegation zone.
The decision made by match referee Paul Tierney last weekend, minutes before to Liverpool’s game-winning goal in the 99th minute, to not give the ball back to Forest for a restart, according to Forest’s referee analysis
Nuno said to Sky Sports, “Again, we’re going to send them a letter and they apologise.” “Please explain what is going on to me. Week after week, it goes on. We lost a point to Newcastle last week as a result. Each of these circumstances. That’s sufficient.We’ll continue to battle. We’ll get back together. We’ll evaluate the match and get ready for Luton. We’ll be prepared, but it will be difficult. Please explain your reasoning. Why are we always the ones? – News reports
