Everton star Ashley Young has addressed the penalty decisions in a taunting post on social media aimed at Nottingham Forest. The defender was involved in three controversial moments during the recent match against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side at Goodison Park. Despite Everton’s 2-0 victory, Forest expressed dissatisfaction with the match outcome and stated their intention to take action against PGMOL.
They claimed that three penalty opportunities were missed, all incidents involving Young, and criticized the officiating throughout the season. Young, formerly of Manchester United, responded to Forest’s complaints in a lighthearted manner on social media, further enhancing his reputation as a pantomime villain for the club. When questioned about the incidents during the post-match press conference, Young expressed amusement, stating that the referee made the correct decisions and that the Forest players were overly appealing. Forest’s statement expressed frustration with the officiating, citing three penalties not given and criticizing the performance of the VAR.
They indicated that they had warned PGMOL about their concerns before the game but were not pleased with the outcome. The club stated its intention to consider its options in response to the perceived injustices.
