Overview
- Manchester City beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 at the City Ground, with Rayan Cherki scoring an 83rd-minute winner.
- VAR reviewed the decisive goal but upheld it despite Forest claims that Nico O’Reilly pushed Morgan Gibbs-White in the buildup.
- Sean Dyche called several decisions "bizarre" and said referee Rob Jones should have shown Ruben Dias a second yellow for tripping Igor Jesus.
- Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer said Dias should have been sent off, while former official Darren Cann said the VAR was right to let the goal stand under the clear-and-obvious standard.
- Reports highlighted a late studs-up challenge by Igor Jesus on Phil Foden that drew no sanction, and noted Dyche could face FA punishment for his post-match comments.
