The incident occurred when Morgan Rogers was taken down by Elliot Anderson in the penalty area, but no penalty was awarded.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has criticized a missed penalty call during their 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest . Morgan Rogers was brought down by Elliot Anderson in the penalty area, but referee Sam Barrott did not award a spot kick and VAR did not intervene. Emery believes it was a 'clear penalty' and a 'massive mistake' from VAR . Villa took the lead through Jhon Duran's header but conceded an equaliser from Nikola Milenkovic in the dying minutes.
Anthony Elanga then scored in the 93rd minute to secure the victory for Forest. Former referee Keith Hackett has also criticised the decision, stating it was a 'clear holding offence' and that the referee should have reviewed the incident on the pitchside monitor. Hackett believes the PGMOL needs to address the issue of holding offences going unpunished
