Follow all the action from The City Ground
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.

Larsen needs to offer something to Wolves when they move forward as he has had the fewest touches on the pitch with seven. Fewer than both goalkeepers to this point

Bellegarde is walking a tightrope now after that latest challenge. It was late and needless. The Forest fans are calling for a red and if he makes any other fouls now you can expect that response to continue. He needs to be careful not to have his side reduced to 10-men.

Cunha with a long-distance strike from 25-yards out in front of the goal is dragged wide. Sels was scrambling across his goal as the shot looked troubling but it was dragged wide past the post and it remains level.

Woods puts his effort over the bar. A difficult chance as the ball is flashed across the box from the left hand side, but the striker threw himself at the pass hoping to get the desired touch to give him his second of the game but it went harmlessly over the bar.

Moments after the equaliser Anderson broke through the Wolves defence and lost his balance as he entered the penalty area. The midfielder is appealing for a penalty but the referee waves it away quickly to quieten fans.

Superb defending from Wolves, as Williams got in behind the defence to play the ball across the six-yard box towards Hudson-Odoi. But the former Chelsea winger was denied a certain goal by Semedo paying attention to keep the score level.

Forest can not deal with the pressure of Wolves. Once the visitors have it, they are looking to play direct and quick, sensing weakness in the defensive shape of Forest. Espirito Santo will need to instil a bit of calm for his side to get through this period.
