Sean Dyche argued football’s lawmakers should consider expanding the reach of the video assistant referee system after Nottingham Forest conceded from a controversial corner for the second successive match. His side came close to winning, but Dyche was left angered after Manchester United scored the opener from a corner awarded by the assistant referee Akil Howson on the far side of the pitch. Replays showed it was unclear whether the Forest full-back Nicolò Savona kept the ball in play.
Dyche was booked for his protests in defeat last Sunday at Bournemouth, where Marcus Tavernier scored directly from a corner. Here, Casemiro headed in one taken by Bruno Fernandes to earn United a first-half lead.
