Dyche Demands VAR Overhaul After Controversial Corner in Forest–Man United Draw

He argues VAR must cover mistaken corner awards following a repeat incident.

Overview

  • Manchester United’s opener came from a corner awarded despite replays not clearly showing the ball had fully crossed the line, and Casemiro headed in from the set piece.
  • Nottingham Forest recovered to lead 2-1 before Amad Diallo’s late volley made it 2-2 at the City Ground.
  • Sean Dyche said the assistant was more than 70 yards away and called the decision unacceptable, urging a quick override mechanism for such calls.
  • Sky Sports and ESPN reported that current VAR protocol does not allow reviews of whether a ball went out for a corner, even when a goal follows.
  • Dyche highlighted a similar call in last week’s defeat at Bournemouth, noting he had already raised concerns with PGMOL chief Howard Webb, while Morgan Gibbs-White and ex-referee Mike Dean also questioned the decision.
