Nottingham Forest have formally requested the VAR recordings from their controversial defeat to Everton.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s side claimed they were wronged by three decisions during last Sunday’s two-goal reversal at Goodison Park.

On Monday, the Tricky Trees announced that they have contacted refereeing body PGMOL to publicly release the VAR audio from the game.

“Nottingham Forest has today submitted a formal request to the PGMOL to release into the public domain the audio recordings between officials during yesterday’s match against Everton at Goodison Park,” confirmed a club statement.

“The club has requested this be shared for three key match incidents – Ashley Young’s challenge on Giovanni Reyna (24th minute), Ashley Young’s handball (44th minute) and Ashley Young’s challenge on Callum Hudson-Odoi (56th minute).

“We firmly advocate for the broader football community and supporters to have access to the audio and transcript for full transparency, ensuring the integrity of our sport is upheld.”

Liverpool were previously successful when making a similar request following their loss at Tottenham earlier in the season.

Forest currently sit just one point clear of the Premier League’s relegation zone.
