Everton took a huge step towards securing their Premier League survival with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday that left their relegation rivals fuming over a series of rejected penalty appeals.
Sean Dyche’s side took the lead through Idrissa Gueye’s first-half strike at Goodison Park before Dwight McNeil wrapped up the priceless points in the closing stages.
The Toffees have five games left, while fourth bottom Forest, third bottom Luton and second bottom Burnley have only four remaining. Beto was stretchered off after lengthy treatment, raising his hand to acknowledge the crowd in a sign he had regained conciousness. Forest have also been hit with a four-point deduction for financial breaches, with their appeal set to be held on Wednesday.Dyche called Monday’s 6-0 hammering at Chelsea “arguably the worst moment” of his career, but he got the response he wanted after a week of “home truths”.
Jordan Pickford preserved Everton’s lead, scrambling to make a superb save from Chris Wood’s close-range volley after Neco Williams picked out the Forest striker at the far post.
