The Premier League have condemned Nottingham Forest's statement on social media following their controversial defeat to Everton.

Forest released a strongly-worded statement on X after losing 2-0 to Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.

They slammed the officiating and bemoaned the VAR officials in a post that angered Jamie Carragher, who didn't hold back.

Forest have since shared another statement on social media as they demand the audio between the officials.

The Premier League are 'extremely disappointed' at the club's social media statements.

In a statement released on X, they wrote: "The Premier League was extremely disappointed to read the comments made by Nottingham Forest on social media yesterday, following its match against Everton.

"We note The FA has confirmed it will be investigating the club’s statement. It is never appropriate to improperly question the integrity of match officials, and the nature of these comments means the Premier League will also be investigating the matter in relation to the League’s Rules."

Forest took to social media following their defeat to Everton after feeling aggrieved over three penalty decisions that went against them.

Ashley Young was involved in each incident as match referee Anthony Taylor waved away each penalty appeal.

Speaking after the defeat, Nuno Espirito Santo said: "We've tried to ignore it but so many times it's repeating - bad decisions against us... not given.

"It's very difficult to control the players and ask them to be focused and me myself to be composed, because it's been very hard."

The defeat to Everton leaves Forest one spot above the relegation zone in 17th place, one point ahead of Luton Town.

Santo's team resume their league campaign on Sunday against Manchester City as they look to hold onto their top flight status.
