Overview
- Replays from Nottingham Forest’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United indicate the ball stayed in play before a corner was awarded, and Casemiro scored from the resulting set piece.
- Under current IFAB protocols, VAR cannot review whether a corner was wrongly given, so the on-field decision stood despite subsequent scrutiny.
- Sean Dyche condemned the officiating after Forest suffered similar byline rulings in successive weeks, calling for rapid intervention when simple factual checks are possible.
- Former referees on broadcast review shows faulted the assistant’s distant vantage point, while debate continues over a separate incident in which Amad Diallo appeared to handle in the area.
- Keith Hackett and Matt Le Tissier urged reforms such as extending goal-line technology to the byline or widening VAR’s scope, though no changes have been enacted.
