Forest remain U nbeaten with draw against Wolves



Nottingham Forest maintained their unbeaten start to the Premier League season by drawing with Wolves at the City Ground.

Chris Wood gave Forest an early lead when he nodded in unchallenged from a corner but Wolves' Jean-Ricner Bellegarde responded immediately with a stunning strike from range.

With minutes remaining, Wood thought he had found a winner when he struck it past debutant keeper Sam Johnstone from another corner but he was offside.

Both teams showed attacking intent throughout, with Morgan Gibbs-White coming close for Forest and Matheus Cunha a threat at the other end.

It was a battling performance from the hosts, who have picked up five points from their opening three matches but are still seeking a first win at home this season.

Wolves, beaten heavily at home by Chelsea last week, showed more solidity in defence and plenty of flair in attack.

Deadline day signing Johnstone had a busy debut and was tested by Wood on several occasions, but he produced a smart stop to deny the striker in the second half.
