Ashley Young has continued to rattle Nottingham Forest fans with a post after Everton's 2-0 win on Sunday.

The Toffees picked up a huge victory in the relegation six-pointer at Goodison Park courtesy of goals from Idrissa Gueye and Dwight McNeil.

But Forest were left furious with three separate penalty incidents involving Young which were not given.

There were huge appeals for handball from the former Manchester United man, who also made risky challenges on both Gio Reyna and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

VAR did not intervene in any of the incidents, causing Forest to release an unprecedented statement about the integrity of the officials - which is being investigated by the FA.

Young, meanwhile, produced a comical response to the storm. He took to X to share a screenshot of him listening to Justin Timberlake's 'Cry Me a River', with the caption 'Old Skool Tunes For Today' and two wink face emojis.

Young had trolled Forest fans in his post-match interview where he was asked about the trio of penalty calls not given.

Asked about how many of the decisions were right or wrong, he replied: "All of them were right."

Pressed further, he added: "None of them given were they?".

And when the interview said, "Come on, what's that face say?" - he sharply responded, "It's saying that none of them were given".

The result means Everton are four points clear of Forest, who occupy 17th place and have played a game more.

The tweet from the official club account, which claimed VAR official Stuart Attwell is a Luton Town supporter, is said to have been written as a result of directive from the club's owners.

There is even a suggestion that the club could take legal action against PGMOL.

Jamie Carragher slammed the post from Forest, branding it "embarrassing" and "rubbish".

Meanwhile, Gary Neville called for Mark Clattenburg to resign his role as Forest's refereeing consultant.

Clattenburg, who took up the position in February, launched a stinging attack on the officials in his latest Daily Mail column.
