Nottingham Forest write to Premier League and PGMOL over Toney free-kick
Brentford's Ivan Toney appears to move the vanishing spray and ball ahead of scoring his side's first goal of the game via a free-kick during the Premier League match at the Gtech Community Stadium, London, January 20, 2024
NOTTINGHAM FOREST have asked for an explanation from the Premier League and referees’ body PGMOL over Ivan Toney’s free-kick that helped Brentford to a 3-2 win in west London on Saturday.
Toney moved the referee’s vanishing foam and shifted the ball to a more advantageous position before scoring from the set piece, leading to complaints from Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo after the game.
Forest are demanding to know whether Toney’s actions, which the player himself insisted were legal, actually constituted foul play.
