Hudson-Odoi cuts inside off the left and crosses for Wood in the middle, but the Kiwi is swarmed by Wolves and can't get on the end of it. Wolves go straight up the other end on the counter as Lima is played in down the right, but his ball across the face of goal comes to nothing!

Forest lost 3-2 to Brentford in their opening league match of 2024 – they’ve not lost their first league game in consecutive calendar years since 2006/2007 while a League One side, and Nuno Espirito Santo's Reds are an entirely different proposition these days.

The hosts take a quick goal-kick after a cross-field ball towards Aina comes to nothing, and come away down the left through Rodrigo Gomes and Ait-Nouri. The latter cross from the edge of the box, but scuffs his effort and sends it straight behind for a goal-kick at the other end!
