Howard Webb, the head of Premier League referees, has admitted that Nottingham Forest should have been awarded a penalty in their recent match against Everton, acknowledging that VAR erred by not overruling referee Anthony Taylor's on-pitch decision. This admission follows an independent panel's review, which confirmed that one of Forest's three penalty appeals during the game, which ended in a 2-0 defeat, was valid. The panel was also divided over another decision during the match.
