Pundits disagree with Sean Dyche claims after Everton draw vs Nottingham Forest

Match of the Day pundits Micah Richards and Troy Deeney have spoken about referee John Brooks' decision to not award Everton a second penalty at Nottingham Forest.

Everton boss Sean Dyche claimed midfielder Jack Colback brought down Seamus Coleman in the first half. The 51-year-old said he felt 'amazed' at the decision, following the 2-2 draw at the City Ground.

The visitors had already been awarded a penalty following a foul from Jonjo Shelvey which was converted by Demarai Gray. Everton then led the game twice before Brennan Johnson came to the rescue and scored a brace.

Speaking on Match of the Day, Richards said: "I'm not sure, I've had to look at it three or four different angles. He sort of kicks the back of [Jack] Colback there, does Coleman. I don't think it's enough for a penalty. It's never going to be overturned."

Birmingham City striker Deeney added: "It's never going to be overturned. If you are the attacking team you want that, if you're a defensive team you'd be raging if it was given against you. So I think the gaffer was a bit disappointed there but he's already got one, so he's being greedy.

"If you get given it you're buzzing but if it goes against you, you're absolutely fuming so I think the ref made the right decision. If you have to look at it three or four times, it's no good."
