Poor refereeing is ‘destroying the Premier League’ say Nottingham Forest
The TelegraphLate in the first half, Forest were also aggrieved when Taiwo Awoniyi collided with Fulham centre-back Joachim Andersen in the penalty area but VAR judged it was not a foul. A senior Forest source said: “The standard of refereeing is destroying the status of the Premier League and damaging its clubs. “VAR was intended to improve the game for clubs and supporters alike, but it’s failing them at the moment.” The controversy comes less than a week after the 2-2 draw with Brighton when Morgan Gibbs-White was dismissed for a second yellow card. The Key Match Incidents Panel later disagreed with the decision on a split 3-2 vote, admitting it “was below the threshold for a second caution”. “When we come to the game, we don’t think about the referee, we just want to compete and play the game and hope the referee gets things right.” Report: Fulham off to best start since 2003
