Wolves took the lead in the first half with a well-executed goal, capitalizing on Forest’s defensive lapse. The visitors dominated possession, putting Forest under constant pressure. However, Forest’s defense, led by captain Joe Worrall, managed to keep Wolves from extending their lead.
In the second half, Forest began to find their rhythm, pushing forward with more intent. Their persistence paid off in the 83rd minute when Chris Wood, who had come on as a substitute, latched onto a cross and powered a header past Wolves’ goalkeeper. The goal ignited the home crowd, giving Forest the momentum to push for a winner in the dying minutes.
Despite the late surge, both teams settled for a point, leaving Forest in need of more consistency as the season progresses. The draw highlights the team’s fighting spirit, but manager Steve Cooper will know there’s still work to be done.
