Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Kouyate fouls Lemina in midfield, bringing his opponent down after being beaten by a neat touch. He is really walking a tightrope after escaping a potential second yellow card in the first half.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Wolves have started the second half in much the same way as they began the first – slowly. They need to get Sarabia and Cunha involved and rediscover their rhythm, with Forest growing into the contest.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Forest boss Cooper is shown a yellow card for questioning the referee's choice to stop the game a moment ago. As you'd expect given the circumstances, he is very pumped up for this match.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Forest are enjoying a much better spell on the ball now, but the referee stops their latest move in its tracks with Hwang down and holding the back of his head. He was caught inadvertently by Murillo, and Wolves were perhaps unfortunate not to get the free-kick.

WOODWORK! Forest keep the pressure on as Yates' second cross is flicked on by Kouyate to find Elanga unmarked at the back post. He hammers his shot off the underside off the crossbar and away to safety, then the flag goes up late anyway. The winger may have gone slightly too early, but that would have been checked, had he found the net!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Williams gets forward to win a right-wing corner as Forest enjoy a better spell in possession. The set-piece is swung into the near post… but Toti nods it clear.

Sarabia plays a deep free-kick into the area and Dawson goes for the spectacular, watching the ball drop over his shoulder before attempting the volley… but perhaps unsurprisingly, the defender fails to make contact as the ball zips through to Turner!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
There's a brief scare for both teams as Williams and Cunha stay down following separate collisions, but both players are swiftly back to their feet. Wolves are then furious as Murillo's late lunge on Lemina somehow goes unpunished in midfield. It's a tetchy affair, this one!
