Nuno Espirito Santo says Nottingham Forest should have had a “clear penalty” in their <\/span>3-2 Premier League defeat<\/span><\/a> by Newcastle on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Goalkeeper Martin Dubravka dived and collided with Forest forward Taiwo Awoniyi in the box when it was 2-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The video assistant referee reviewed the incident but decided no clear and obvious error had been made by referee Anthony Taylor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nuno said the incident was a “decisive moment” in the game at City Ground.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Forest boss said: “I saw it over and over again, for me it is a clear penalty.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think Anthony Taylor maybe doesn’t have a clear view of the incident because it is from behind but when you have the chance for VAR to check it, I think it is so obvious, that is why I don’t understand the decision.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The defeat leaves Forest 16th in the Premier League, only two points clear of the relegation zone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp, speaking on Sky Sports, said Newcastle, who move up to seventh in the table, “got away with one”.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We don’t know what will happen but it clearly changed the history of the game. That was a decisive moment for sure,” Nuno added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ex-Tottenham defender Stephen Kelly said Dubravka had “needlessly” created contact with Awoniyi.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is a lift in the arm from Dubravka to stop Awoniyi getting past him and to the ball. He doesn’t need to do that,” Kelly told BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Premier League’s chief football officer <\/span>Tony Scholes said on Friday<\/span><\/a> video assistant referee decisions are taking too long and offer a poor in-stadium experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

He did say VAR is a largely positive addition to the Premier League and that the number of correct decisions being made has increased from 82% in the period before it was introduced in 2019 to 96% now.<\/span><\/p>\n

But he acknowledged “clearly everything in the world of VAR is not perfect”.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Key Match Incident Panel, which includes ex-players, examines big decisions after every match round and Scholes revealed it has found that during the 2023-24 season so far, there have been:<\/span><\/p>\n
