Forest remain unbeaten with draw against Wolves

It was an entertaining afternoon in Nottingham as Forest’s new signing James Ward-Prowse watched on in the stands as his side pressed for a winner late on.

Wolves had caused them problems but Forest, boosted by the introduction of substitute Ramon Sosa – on for his Premier League debut – continued to find space out wide.

Fresh from his call-up to the England senior squad, Gibbs-White pulled the strings, while Elliot Anderson was impressive alongside him in Forest’s midfield.

Wood was often the target man and he was heavily involved, testing Johnstone and causing problems in the air.

He was fortunate not to have conceded a penalty in the second half when the ball hit his arm as he tracked Craig Dawson, but the striker also had cause for an appeal in the first half when he appeared to be elbowed by Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Wolves have struggled so far this season but this was a far more encouraging display, and Bellegarde’s blistering equaliser was their first goal scored from outside the penalty area in 47 Premier League matches.

Johnstone showed glimpses of why he was brought in on deadline day but Jose Sa’s absence from the squad will only intensify rumours of a move away from Wolves.

Gary O’Neil’s men are now up and running in the league and this was a well-earned point away from home.
