Everton boss Sean Dyche has launched a blistering attack on Nottingham Forest, mocking their recent VAR controversies after his side secured a crucial 2-0 victory at Goodison Park.
The Toffees manager didn't hold back in his post-match comments, taking direct aim at Forest's social media outburst following their defeat to Everton earlier this month. Forest had sparked widespread debate after claiming they were denied three clear penalties in that match.
Dyche's Cutting Response
'I remind everyone, we've had zero penalties this season,' Dyche fired back. 'We're not crying about it or putting statements out. We're just getting on with it.'
His comments come after Forest's official Twitter account posted a controversial message suggesting the VAR official was a Luton Town supporter, leading to an FA charge against the club.
Match Dominance Seals Everton Victory
Sunday's encounter saw Everton completely outclass their opponents, with Idrissa Gueye breaking the deadlock in spectacular fashion. The Senegalese midfielder unleashed a 25-yard thunderbolt that left Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels rooted to the spot.
The points were secured late in the game when Dwight McNeil's clinical low drive found the bottom corner, sending the Goodison Park faithful into raptures.
Relegation Battle Intensifies
This vital win provides Everton with significant breathing space in their relegation fight, now sitting five points clear of the drop zone with just four matches remaining.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest's defeat leaves them hovering precariously just one point above the bottom three, setting up a nail-biting conclusion to the season.
VAR Drama Continues to Dominate
The ongoing VAR controversy shows no signs of abating, with Dyche's comments adding fuel to the fire surrounding officiating standards in the Premier League.
As the season reaches its climax, both clubs face crucial matches that could determine their top-flight status for next year.
