In a crucial Premier League match at Goodison Park, Everton secured a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest with goals from Idrissa Gana Gueye and Dwight McNeil at the 29th and 76th minutes respectively. Everton's goalkeeper Jordan Pickford played a pivotal role, making a crucial save to deny Chris Wood. The match was marred by controversy as Nottingham Forest's appeals for penalties were denied, leading to significant frustration and a post-match statement from the club on social media criticizing the officiating. Nottingham Forest is considering legal action against the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) and questioning the integrity of video assistant referee Stuart Attwell.
#NFFC were undone today by poor officiating. But the reaction? It smacks of desperation from an entitled cabal who are driving a great club’s reputation for decency and fine football to the sewer. The possible relegation and demise of @NFFC is fast becoming a Greek’s tragedy. https://t.co/5a1eSveFYz

Forest with their second penalty claim of the game there... they wanted one earlier when Reyna had been brought down in the box... now Young has handled. His arm was away from his body. Definitely in the 'seen them given' bracket #NFFC
