Mark Clattenburg explains Everton’s imminent complaint to PGMOL

“Everton thought they should have had a penalty for a handball against West Ham which is very subjective.
Clattenburg rejected Everton’s penalty appeal at the weekend, claiming the handball was ‘accidental’ as Fernandes battled Thierno Barry.
“The purpose of the complaint will be to hear the audio of the VAR and referee and sit down with the management of PGMOL to better understand the decision making.
“The decision cannot be changed of course and it will also be interesting if the Premier League’s KMI panel agrees with Everton.”
Everton want to make their voice heard
Too frequently have Moyes and the Toffees found themselves on the wrong side of refereeing decisions this season.
Moyes questioned Attwell after Everton’s defeat at the London Stadium, with the 63-year-old perplexed by the officials’ reasoning.
It is a decision that has sparked controversy across the Premier League, with many pundits also left baffled by the decision.
Even notorious all of the officials Dermot Gallagher admitted Everton should have had a penalty against the Irons.
The decision has not only had a huge impact on Everton’s hopes of European football, but it may also have cost Tottenham Hotspur at the other end of the table.
Clearly, something needs to change going forward.
