Brighton midfielder Moder tells Forest: Ref did well!

Brighton midfielder Jakub Moder backed referee Michael Salisbury's decision not to give him a red card.

The midfielder was the subject of a VAR check by Craig Pawson after a challenge on Neco Williams.

Nottingham Forest were furious at the decision, with manager Nuno Espirito Santo stating his team were being victimized.

Post-game, Moder said: I watched it back and my friend sent it to me!

I think the referee knows better than me if it is a yellow or a red. He decided it is a yellow so I believe him and it's good for me.

I watched it back and I can see I touched the ball first, then I hit his ankle."

He added: It is always a little bit of a worry when you see on the screen that the VAR is checking for a serious foul. I was a little bit worried but luckily it is just a yellow."
