Jean-Ricner Bellegarde’s stunning strike earned Wolverhampton Wanderers their first point of the Premier League season with a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest.
In a frantic start to the game, New Zealand striker Chris Wood headed the hosts into a 10th-minute lead from a corner, having been left completely unmarked in the penalty area.
Bellegarde issued an immediate response, however, lashing home a sensational hit two minutes later.
Both sides failed to really create clearcut chances to snatch all three points as Forest remained unbeaten this season.

A golden chance. A heavy touch from Cunha allowed Sels to ounce on the ball and stop a goal scoring opportunity as the forward clattered into the goalkeeper. Free kick award to Forest.

Gomes is receiving treatment from an innocuous challenge. The Brazilian tackled Hudson-Odoi and came out worse off, but the player has been receiving treatment for the last three minutes. He looks to be ok, but worrying for O’Neil. The manager will monitor the situation as the game continues.
