Footage of Nottingham Forest's three penalty claims goes viral after relegation-threatened club release statement blasting the decisions and claiming 'the VAR is a Luton fan'

Footage has emerged of Nottingham Forest's three penalty claims against Everton after the club slammed the VAR official.

The Midlands club - in the heart of a relegation battle at the bottom of the Premier League - claimed they warned PGMOL over bias from a VAR official. 

Forest also stated that they would 'consider its options' after the defeat at Goodison Park. 

Their 2-0 loss saw Everton take a four point lead over Forest in the battle for survival.

Since their tweet, a video has emerged showing each controversial incident at Goodison Park.

On X (formerly Twitter), the club released a brutal statment.

It read: 'Three extremely poor decisions - three penalties not given - which we simply cannot accept. 

'We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game but they didn’t change him. Our patience has been tested multiple times.

'NFFC will now consider its options.' 

Speaking after the match, Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo revealed: 'I don’t understand the reason for the decisions of Anthony Taylor and VAR because I see the images.

'But this is a general feeling that’s been with us, we are trying to ignore it and so many times it’s repeating bad decisions against us, not gibing us.

'Even taking things from us, it’s very difficult to control. The players and me are trying to focus on football because it’s been very hard.

'The situation that we are doesn’t help, now we have some stress and fear but it’s not an excuse. It’s been clear what’s happening to us, not only in this game.

'I’ve seen the images. It’s hard to take. It’s a pen on Gio Reyna, it’s a kick, it’s a handball and it’s understandable we are proactive as a club because we want things right.

'We don’t want bad referees, we want good decisions. If we lose because of a bad display, we take it, but it’s disappointing with the decisions.'

Nottingham Forest are set to learn whether they will regain any of the four points they lost for breaching the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability regulations. 

The club appealed the punishment, and Mail Sport previously revealed the hearing will start in the coming week.
