Overview
- Everton won 3-0 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium with an early Nikola Milenkovic own goal, Thierno Barry’s first Everton strike on half-time, and a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall finish sealing the result.
- Ryan Yates left shortly after coming on at half-time with a suspected hamstring injury, and Sean Dyche said the midfielder is set for scans.
- Sky Sports reported Forest will complain to PGMOL after VAR checked Tarkowski’s shoulder barge on Ndoye and took no action, judging it short of a red-card offence.
- Dyche kept the same XI that beat Wolves, then made a triple substitution at the break and later questioned his team’s intensity and the officials’ handling of key moments.
- Forest’s stretched squad faces a Europa League trip to Utrecht this week, with hopes that centre-back Murillo can rejoin training after illness following a recent hamstring issue.
