Head coach Steve Cooper is anticipating an apology from the PGMOL after a potentially “game-changing” decision in Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United.
The Reds argued a penalty should have been given for a handball against Harry Maguire in the first half at the City Ground, when the score was still 0-0 and the United defender was already on a booking. But referee Simon Hooper waved away the appeals, and his verdict was not overturned by VAR.
The visitors went on to clinch victory through goals from Antony and Diogo Dalot. Cooper is expecting to hear from the Professional Game Match Officials Board, in the same way they admitted a mistake had been made by not awarding Brighton and Hove Albion a spot-kick against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
