Nottingham Forest were left fuming over the decision to award Manchester United's second goal at Old Trafford
were left fuming over referee Michael Salisbury’s decision not to chalk off Matheus Cunha’s goal. They argued it should have been disallowed for a handball by Bryan Mbeumo in the build-up.
Cunha’s goal was a decisive one as it made it 2-1 to the hosts, just two minutes after Morato had equalised for Forest. Following a VAR check, Salisbury went to his screen to review the incident butHoward Webb, who is head of referees’ governing body PGMOL is understood to have been in contact with the club today . He is understood to have acknowledged the referee was incorrect not to rule out Cunha’s goal.
Reds head coach Vitor Pereira said in his post-match press conference clarity is needed regarding the rules. He also suggested there should be a meeting between“It was a pity the game was decided by a decision that I must accept because it is the decision of the referee, but it is not my opinion. For me, it is handball. Very clear.
But he decided not to cancel the goal, and for me it was the decision that decided the game. ” Asked if he had spoken to the referee, Pereira said: “He thinks the control with the hand was after the touch of the body. I must accept but it is not my opinion. I watched the image, in my opinion he controlled the ball with the hand and the goal comes from the control.
If not, he would not have had the chance to shoot and to score.
“This is the doubt we have in this moment in the Premier League about decisions. The handball, we don’t know when it is handball or not. The blocks in the box, for free-kicks, we do not know when it is a foul or not. I think it is important to have a meeting with everybody and try to understand the rules and decisions.
Because l think everybody, all the managers, in this moment have doubts about some decisions. ” He added: “I’m very proud of my players. We got the points before the last two games, because if the game was decided in this way and we needed the points to be safe, this is a big problem. Big problem. Big problem. ”
