Everton went back to losing ways, with goals from Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White handing the visitors all three points.
Toffees fans were optimistic heading into this game.
The draws against Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City were fairly impressive, and some felt this game against Forest represented a decent chance for points.
But Forest were far superior in every department, and Everton were unable to break the Reds down.
Sean Dyche has just spoken to the media after the game, and has made a claim that will not go down well at all

It is always a concern when a manager talks publicly about players not carrying out instructions.
Often, it is better to keep things like this in-house.
It’s possible that some players in the squad won’t take kindly to being called out publicly like this.
Today’s performance against Forest was pitiful and the buck ultimately stops with the manager.
Supposedly, The Friedkin Group will back Dyche. But the new owners will have a decision to make if there are similar performances like this in the coming weeks, and similar observations from the manager made publicly.
