Vitor Pereira 's Nottingham Forest were beaten by Manchester United at Old Trafford in their penultimate game of the seasonMorgan Gibbs-White of Nottingham Forest speaks to referee Michael Salisbury after he awards a second goal to Matheus Cunha of Manchester United after a VAR check during the Premier League match between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest at Old TraffordThere might have been little for the Reds to play for at Old Trafford, with safety having been secured last weekend.
But they were clearly eager to extend their eight-match unbeaten run in the Premier League. They came close to doing so, too. The turning point came when Matheus Cunha made it 2-1 to the hosts barely two minutes after a Morato equaliser, with the United man’s goal controversially allowed to stand. Pereira said: “Crazy game.
This is maybe a good game for supporters but for managers, it was an open game, especially in the second half. We conceded a lot of counterattacks.
“My team wanted to score goals and to equalise. We conceded a lot of spaces and lost our organisation and balance. They had chances to score, we had chances to score.
“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. ” Morgan Gibbs-White pulled one back soon after to set up a grandstand finish but the Reds were unable to find another leveller.
