We asked for your views on Everton's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday.

Here are some of your answers:

Everton fans

Blue: A scrappy, nervous game but a result to cherish. The much-needed three points didn’t come easy as Forest gave all they had. Everton’s play was no better but the result is all that matters. The fans will sleep a little easier - but I’m sure, with the way this team play under Dyche, there will be more anxiety before the season ends.

Joe: It's a really big win for many reasons - shaking off the dreadful 6-0, two points deductions, possible administration. We're not safe (in every possible meaning) but we appear to have some breathing space. I don't think we'll see a safe Everton until we move into the new stadium. But at least we're fighting again!

Ian: As an Everton fan, I'm grateful for the three points - but we were fortunate with the penalty decisions. Had they been against us, we would be screaming! On to Wednesday night.

Stephen: It doesn’t matter if it was a scruffy game as long as we won. Three points and a clean sheet after last week’s drubbing by Chelsea. Two more wins and we should be safe. If the boardroom sorts itself out we should look forward to less stress for next season.

Nottingham Forest fans

David: Three awful penalty decisions but I’m appalled that the club are suggesting Stuart Attwell made decisions because he’s a Luton fan. I want nothing to do with such a comment, which is very embarrassing.

Henry: In the past few games we haven’t pressed as high as our opponent and it has left them free to walk in to our half and us camped on the edge of our own box for too long. I don’t see the right movement or passing in the final third, and even when we have the movement up front we don’t make the through passes and end back with the keeper.

Sim: This wasn’t about Forest’s performance as once again the match was dominated by the decisions of the officials. I’m not surprised that the club has posted their statement.

Rob: Losing to Everton sums up the season for Forest. Conceding too easily, missed chances and then blaming the ref and VAR. Something has to change for Forest to stay up.
