Wolves 1-1 Nottingham Forest: Matheus Cunha ensures the spoils are shared at Molineux
The 2023/24 Premier League season is under way and you can follow every game and every goal right here with The Independent.
This year sees Manchester City try to defend their crown and claim a historic fourth title in succession. Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering City, who also won the Champions League and FA Cup last season, will have to see off Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and the rest to claim an unprecedented sixth league title in seven years.
Meanwhile Luton Town are making their first appearance in the Premier League, having risen from non-league in an incredible decade of progress. They followed Championship winners Burnley and second-placed Sheffield United in earning promotion to the top flight.
Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
We will have SIX minutes of stoppage time here, as Kouyate is forced to leave the field, at least temporarily.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Kouyate is down near his own area and is receiving treatment from the Forest medical team as both sets of players receive instructions from the dugouts and take the chance to rehydrate. It looks to be a head injury, but he's now being helped back to his feet.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Murillo turns Semedo's cross behind for a Wolves corner, and Sarabia's weak near-post delivery is kept alive by Cunha. He gives the Spaniard a second chance to cross from the right, but the Forest backline stands firm to clear the danger.

What is Elanga doing?! Hwang looks to be fouled by Niakhate but the referee plays on as Elanga bursts down the Forest left. Gibbs-White is screaming for the pass, free as a bird in the centre, but the former Manchester United man tries to beat Dawson before throwing himself down under the defender's challenge, and he is told to get up by the referee!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
OVER! Sarabia plucks the ball out of the air with a delicate touch on the top of his left boot before spreading the play to Semedo. He has few options so steps inside to shoot from 25 yards out, but it whistles over the top-right corner. Turner probably had it covered, but it wasn't a bad attempt!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
Sarabia is involved in some more neat interplay for Wolves as they work the ball out to Hugo Bueno, who finds space to shoot from the left corner of the box, but a navy shirt gets in the way to block.

Forest have gotten away with one here! Kouyate was booked in the aftermath of Wolves' goal, and straight from Forest's kick-off, he led with his arm in an aerial challenge with Kilman. O'Neil wanted the midfielder to be given his marching orders, and he had a decent point!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest
There's been no change to the pattern of the game since Wolves' goal. Forest still have everyone back behind the ball, patiently waiting for a chance to spring forward on the counterattack.

Cunha has now been involved in a goal on five successive Premier League appearances (three goals, two assists), having only registered a goal involvement in five of his first 28 games in the competition (four goals, one assist).
