David Moyes has claimed Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO) is reluctant to engage with managers because so many refereeing decisions this season have been difficult to explain. The Everton manager said he was left “half-choking” when Fulham were awarded what proved to be a match-winning penalty against Nottingham Forest on Monday for Douglas Luiz’s touch on Fulham’s Kevin.
Everton were denied a penalty on Saturday for a similar offence by William Saliba on Thierno Barry during their home defeat by Arsenal. Moyes did not criticise the decision at the time but in light of Fulham’s penalty feels the inconsistency of referees can not be ignored.
