'FA to investigate Forest after accusations of bias'published at 07:38 British Summer Time 22 April
Monday's back pages
The I
The i reports that the Football Association is investigating Nottingham Forest following the club's posts on X, external which appeared to accuse VAR Stuart Attwell of bias.
Forest said that Attwell - a "Luton fan" - ignored three penalty chances in their 2-0 defeat at Everton.
There is also a picture of Manchester United's penalty shootout heroes Rasmus Hojlund and Andre Onana after the Premier League side beat Championship club Coventry "by the skin of their teeth" in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final.

Manchester United's winning penalty in the FA Cup semi-final
In case you missed it, Manchester United scraped into the FA Cup final on penalties despite throwing away a three-goal lead against Championship side Coventry in an epic semi-final at Wembley.
In a very modern-day thriller, United came out on top in a penalty shootout they were losing at one stage.
A quite remarkable contest only got that far because Victor Torp's effort in injury time in extra time was ruled out for offside by video assistant referee Peter Bankes.
But after Bradley Collins saved United's first kick, from Casemiro, Andre Onana denied Callum O'Hare, then unsettled Ben Sheaf with some verbal jousting - and the Coventry captain missed - allowing Rasmus Hojlund to win it.

Good morningpublished at 07:00 British Summer Time 22 April
I say good morning, but it's all relative.
Well done to United and City for setting up a second consecutive Manchester derby in this year's FA Cup final.
But commiserations to Coventry, who came within a VAR decision of pulling off one of THE great FA Cup comebacks...
