Sean Dyche has responded to Nottingham Forest's public outcry over refereeing decisions in Everton's 2-0 victory at Goodison Park, pointing to his own side's frustrations with officials this season.
Forest released a statement on social media after the match claiming they should have been awarded three penalties, alleging bias against the club. The Football Association is now set to investigate the comments.
Dyche, speaking after the win that moved Everton close to Premier League safety, said he was unaware of Forest's complaints. He highlighted that Everton have only been awarded two penalties all season, which he described as 'alarmingly low' given the number they feel they should have had.
The Everton manager referenced specific incidents that have frustrated his club, including a Dominic Calvert-Lewin goal disallowed at Tottenham and a red card for the same player at Crystal Palace that was later rescinded. 'There is frustration around VAR from everyone this season, we have had our moments,' Dyche said.
He added: 'I can't control what they do and what they think but I think over a season so far I don't think we have had our fair share of penalties. Hopefully there might be some twists to go for us as this season comes to an end.'
