Nottingham Forest handed definitive red card verdict after VAR controversy in Ipswich Town draw

The Premier League's Key Match Incidents panel has unanimously supported referee Thomas Bramall's decision not to send off Ipswich Town defender Issa Diop during a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest. Forest head coach Oliver Glasner believed Diop should have received a red card for denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity after fouling James McAtee in the 47th minute at Portman Road.

Following a pitchside monitor review, Bramall issued a yellow card, judging that McAtee's touch moved the ball away from goal. The five-person panel agreed 5-0 with the on-field decision, citing McAtee's heavy touch and the presence of covering defender Leif Davis. Neco Williams scored Forest's goal in the match, with Julio Enciso equalising for Ipswich.
