Nottingham Forest found themselves at the center of a heated controversy after releasing a scathing statement accusing referee decisions and VAR during their match against Everton.

Manager Nuno Espírito Santo even went as far as to suggest that VAR was biased, claiming 'VAR is a Luton fan.' This bold accusation stirred outrage among fans and pundits alike, with Sky Sports experts Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville mocking Forest for their statements.

Despite the backlash, Nottingham Forest doubled down on their stance, hinting at 'considering their options' in response to the refereeing controversy. The club's social media post questioning the match official's integrity added fuel to the fire, fueling speculations and debates within the football community.
