What happened. Neco Williams' second-half goal was disallowed by VAR for handball, and Forest manager Oliver Glasner argued the intervention was wrong.

• Glasner said VAR was 'guessing' and the decision wasn't clear and obvious.
• Williams denied handling the ball and insisted the goal should have stood.
• The Premier League match centre stated Williams handled it immediately before scoring.

“I think the VAR can't intervene when he is guessing. It was not clear and obvious.”

— Oliver Glasner

Glasner expressed frustration over inconsistency with VAR threshold, hinting at ongoing debate.
