Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

17:03

The full-time whistle sounds as Forest hold on for a 1-1 draw at Molineux, stopping the rot after suffering four successive Premier League defeats. They took the lead early on when Toffolo nodded home at the back post, only to be pegged back when Cunha slotted Sarabia's cutback home in the 32nd minute. Chances were few and far between in the second half, with Wolves enjoying plenty of possession late on but struggling to open Forest up, with Turner denying Cunha with a solid save from their best chance for a winner. Will that point be enough for Cooper to still be in charge when Forest host Tottenham on Friday? We'll see in the coming days. Wolves have eight days to rest up ahead of their next game, at West Ham next Sunday. That's all from Molineux, so thanks for joining us and goodbye!

FULL-TIME: WOLVES 1-1 NOTTINGHAM FOREST.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:58

Wolves aren't happy as the free-kick is nodded into the middle by Toti, and Wood falls on the ball under pressure from Kilman. The foul goes Forest's way, even though there was absolutely nothing in it.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:56

Both of Kalajdzic's Premier League goals have been late winners – against Everton and Bournemouth. How O'Neil would love another of those here! Wolves have a free-kick on the right wing as Toffolo clips Bellegarde.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:54

We will have at least four minutes of stoppage time to finish this game. Wolves are about to make a late change in attack.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:54

Wolves have had a lot of possession in the last few minutes, but there's not enough movement from their tiring attackers as Forest maintain their shape. We're about to find out how much stoppage time will be played.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:53

Substitution Matheus Santos Carneiro da Cunha Saša Kalajdžić

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:52

The travelling Forest fans – as they did at Fulham on Wednesday – are singing Cooper's name as we enter the closing stages of this contest. Whatever happens in the coming days and weeks, their support for the manager remains intact.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:51

Maybe the midweek fixtures are taking their toll on both teams as they struggle to inject any real urgency to their possession. Can either side find the energy for one last push?

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:50

Wolves have been struggling to play through midfield since Lemina was withdrawn. Bellegarde loses possession as he tries to drive forward, but Forest's break is swiftly cut out by a lunging Toti. Five plus stoppage time to play.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:49

Cunha is unable to prevent a Forest corner on the far side. The delivery is headed out as far as Gibbs-White… but he sends an awkward volley spinning over Sa's goal.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:46

Wolves work the ball forward patiently before Semedo looks to deliver from the right-hand touchline, but it's a poor cross which is easily picked up by Turner under no pressure. Forest are about to make another change, with Wood preparing to come on.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:46

Substitution Anthony David Junior Elanga Christopher Grant Wood

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:43

Now Hwang gets forward to win a corner on the Wolves left. It's a deep delivery from Gomes, kept alive by Kilman, but Traore hammers an awful first-time shot miles over the crossbar. Still 1-1 with 10 minutes of the 90 remaining.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:42

Gibbs-White feels Gomes' foul on him on halfway is worthy of a booking, but none is forthcoming from the referee. Williams hoists the free-kick forward, but Kilman and Traore combine to clear for Wolves.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:40

Now Wolves want a penalty as Hwang beats Boly before going down under pressure from his former team-mate, but that was soft and the VAR check is swiftly complete. No spot-kick.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:40

CHANCE FOR CUNHA! Cunha picks off Murillo's pass before charging into the area, beating two Forest defenders on the way. He lashes a low shot towards goal, and Turner does well to repel it. It comes back to an off-balance Cunha, whose second effort is blocked in front of the Forest goal!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:39

Substitution Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos Felipe Augusto de Almeida Monteiro

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:38

We're into the final 15 minutes of the 90, and this one is still very much in the balance. Can either side turn one point into three?

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:38

Wasteful from both teams! A terrible corner is claimed by Sa, who quickly bowls the ball out for Cunha on the break. He looks for Bellegarde with his throughball, but it's terribly overhit and Turner can claim it!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:37

Forest are certainly in the ascendency now. Semedo gets a touch to a teasing cross from Mangala, then Elanga hammers his shot into a gold shirt. Gibbs-White sends an inviting second delivery into the area, and Dawson flicks it behind for a corner.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:35

Now Wolves attack as Bellegarde feeds Semedo, but his cross just lacks the necessary pace as Cunha heads tamely at Turner. It's still all to play for as we enter the final 20 minutes of the 90 here!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:34

MASSIVE CHANCE! Forest should be 2-1 up, and Toffolo should have another goal! Williams outmuscles Doherty with ease before delivering a teasing cross into the six-yard box. It loops over Sa, who is in no man's land, but Toffolo somehow heads over and wide of the gaping goal!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:32

Toffolo isn't happy as he's penalised for a challenge on Semedo, despite appearing to win the ball with his lunging tackle. Wolves have another chance to load the box from the wide free-kick… but his teasing delivery is beyond everyone as Forest get the goal-kick.

16:32

Substitution Hugo Bueno López Matthew James Doherty

Substitution Hugo Bueno López Pablo Sarabia García Jean-Ricner Bellegarde

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:31

Wolves have yet to really get going since the interval, and it looks like O'Neil will soon turn to his bench again. Forest are winning the midfield battle now, but they're yet to create a real chance since half-time.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:29

Gomes is slightly fortunate to avoid a booking after tripping Gibbs-White, who chopped past him with a neat piece of skill in midfield. Forest do get the free-kick and deliver it into the area, but it's an easy one for Sa to claim.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:26

Since the start of last season, Nottingham Forest have both lost the most away Premier League games (19) and conceded the most goals on the road (now 63) of any side. They have only won twice in that time, fewer than both Leicester City and Southampton (four each) and as many times as Leeds United, all of whom were relegated in May.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:25

Substitution Cheikhou Kouyaté Danilo dos Santos de Oliveira

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:24

Lemina is down for Wolves in midfield, and O'Neil is about to make the first substitution of the game. Traore is ready to enter the action.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:23

Substitution Mario René Junior Lemina Boubacar Traoré

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:22

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

16:21

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

16:20

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

16:19

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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:18

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

16:16

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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:14

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

16:13

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!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:12

Coolly done! Kilman almost sells Sa short with a back pass, but the goalkeeper beats Elanga with a dummy inside his own box as Wolves play their way out from the back.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:11

Wolves need to keep getting Sarabia involved as often as possible, with the Spaniard creating as many chances in this game (three) as every other player on the pitch combined, with one of those being the assist for Cunha's equaliser. He recorded a goal and an assist when Spurs were beaten on this ground recently – could he do the same here?

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:09

Wolves get the ball rolling for the second half! Can they complete the turnaround to make it back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season?

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

16:01

The pattern of this game looks to be set, with Wolves enjoying 73.2 per cent of the possession, creating 0.72 expected goals (xG) to Forest's 0.2 and managing twice as many touches in the area as their visitors (10 to five). However, O'Neil's men have played themselves into trouble on a couple of occasions and need to cut out those mistakes. Cooper will be pleased with the fight shown by his under-fire side thus far, but he will want much more from them in the final third.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:59

The half-time whistle sounds at Molineux as Wolves and Nottingham Forest trudge off to the changing rooms locked together at 1-1. Wolves made a tentative start and fell behind 14 minutes in as Williams' hanging cross was nodded in by opposite wing-back Toffolo, but Forest then retreated into their own area as O'Neil's men began to dominate. A moment of quality saw them level the scores as Cunha swept Sarabia's cutback home, but there was a huge warning for the hosts shortly before the break as Kouyate pounced on Kilman's mistake to go through on goal, only to be denied by a big save from Sa! It's still all to play for in the second half, which is coming up shortly!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:54

HALF-TIME: WOLVES 1-1 NOTTINGHAM FOREST.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:54

Forest now launch two long throws into the Wolves box as they bid to finish the half strongly, with both provoking something of a scramble. Sa manages to hold at the second time of asking, though, and that will be that for the first half at Molineux.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:53

HUGE SAVE! Wolves almost gift Forest a goal! Cunha's lofted pass is brought down far too casually by Kilman, who is robbed by Kouyate near the edge of his own box. The Forest midfielder is through on goal as he looks to slide a finish into the bottom-left corner, but Sa makes a crucial stop with his trailing leg!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:51

Sarabia is pushed to the ground by Yates, winning a Wolves free-kick and provoking a furious reaction from Cooper on the sidelines. Sarabia delivers the set-piece to the far post, but Dawson and Toti get in each other's way and the former can only head it behind for a goal-kick.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:49

It looked like a member of Forest's medical team was signalling for a substitution to be made a moment ago, but Kouyate is back on the field for now as Forest are returned to their full complement.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:48

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

15:48

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

15:47

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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:45

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

15:42

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

15:41

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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:40

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

15:38

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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:37

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).

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:34

Yellow Card Cheikhou Kouyaté

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:33

Routine save! Gomes plays a one-two from the corner before swinging a cross in, which Cunha keeps alive on the far side. He plays a one-two with Dawson before shooting on his left foot, but his effort lacks power and Turner can drop to his right to cling on.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:33

Goal Matheus Santos Carneiro da Cunha

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:32

Hwang now looks to break down the left, but Murillo comes over to concede a corner as we approach the 30-minute mark. Can Wolves make this set-piece count?

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:32

Wolves are furious as Gibbs-White avoids being penalised for a potential nudge on Semedo, allowing Forest a rare foray forward. Goalscorer Toffolo crosses from the left, but Toti rises highest to head it clear.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:30

Wolves have had 70 per cent of the possession so far, and they've spent the last 10 minutes camped in Forest's half. They're yet to work a clear-cut opening, though, with Cooper's men keeping their shape well.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:29

Half chance! Toti's hanging cross is headed up in the air by Niakhate, and Hwang is inexplicably left unmarked by Forest as it falls to him on the corner of the six-yard box. The angle is too tight, however, as he directs his header wide of the near post.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:27

A loose pass from Elanga almost lets Cunha in down the Wolves left, but Boly steps in with an excellent challenge inside his own area. The former Wolves defender could have plenty of work to do here if Forest continue to sit this deep.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:26

It's noticeable that Lemina is pulling extremely wide for Wolves when they have the ball, almost occupying a right-wing role. Wolves need to use the full width of the pitch here as they bid to open up Forest's compact low block.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:24

Forest have just one win and one clean sheet in their last 15 Premier League games kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday (five draws, nine losses), beating Chelsea 1-0 in September. Wolves, though, have lost their last two Saturday 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League, suffering 2-1 defeats away to Sheffield United and Arsenal. Not since March 2012 have they lost three in a row in that kick-off slot in the competition.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:23

Wolves are penning Forest back now, with Gomes pressing high to dispossess Gibbs-White before flicking into Cunha. However, it's all a bit too intricate for the hosts as Williams comes over to blast a clearance off Hwang and out.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:22

Wolves have conceded first in nine previous Premier League games this season, winning two, drawing one and losing six. Can they hit back here? It's been an awful start from O'Neil's men.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:20

Wolves fail to make anything of a corner from the right-hand side, then Kouyate catches Sarabia on the follow-though. It's a painful one for the Spaniard, but he's soon back to his feet as Wolves look to work an opening.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:19

Wolves look to hit back immediately following a ponderous start. Cunha races to meet a long ball over the top, and Boly just manages to prod the ball away from him with a desperate lunging challenge – he had to get that right inside his own box!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:15

Assist Neco Shay Williams

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:15

Now it's Forest's turn to keep possession patiently at the back, with Boly, Niakhate and Murillo shifting it from side to side before the latter works it out to Elanga. Kilman cuts out his low cross before being fouled cheaply by Toffolo deep in Wolves territory.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:14

Goal Harry Stefano Toffolo

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:13

We're yet to see an attack of note at either end as we pass the 10-minute mark here, with Toti doing well to hold off Williams at the back for Wolves, before Lemina is fouled by Kouyate in midfield.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:11

Hwang has scored seven goals in his last eight Premier League home games, only failing to net in Wolves' dramatic 2-1 win over Tottenham in this run. Last time out against Burnley, he became the fifth Wolves player to score at least 10 Premier League goals at Molineux, after Raul Jimenez (22), Ruben Neves (14), Steven Fletcher (11) and Diogo Jota (10).

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:10

It's been a slow start here, with both teams happy to sit back in their defensive shapes when out of possession. Wolves were slightly fortunate to take advantage of a Burnley error for Hwang's goal in their midweek win, and they'll need to move the ball a little quicker here.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:08

Gibbs-White is being loudly booed by the home fans upon every touch. He made his debut for Wolves as a 16-year-old but left under something of a cloud last year, and there is no love lost between him and the club's supporters.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:06

Forest have lost their last four Premier League matches, their third run of four or more defeats in a row since rejoining the division in 2022. However, they have only lost five straight once in that time, doing so between August and October 2022.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:06

Cooper looks to have gone for physicality and solidity for this one, with his position potentially under threat. Kouyate, Mangala and Yates are forming a midfield three, with Elanga and Gibbs-White roaming at the top end of the pitch.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:05

There's an early concern for Forest as Murillo stays down after colliding with Hwang while going up to win Toti's long ball forward. He's on his feet after receiving treatment from the medical staff, and he should be okay to continue.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:03

We're under way at Molineux as the visitors get the ball rolling. Wolves are in their traditional old gold and black, with Forest donning a navy and pink change kit.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

15:00

Among the 137 managers to take charge of at least 20 away Premier League games, only Daniel Farke (76 per cent) has lost a higher percentage of those games than Cooper (70.4 per cent, 19 defeats in 27 road trips). How will his team respond to the noise of recent days? The players are out in the West Midlands, and we're about to find out!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

14:51

Cooper, meanwhile, has made seven alterations to the team which was routed by Fulham, Forest's most between two league games this season. Murillo, Toffolo, Mangala and Elanga are the only survivors from that chastening defeat as Cooper switches to a three-man backline, with former Wolves players Boly and Gibbs-White among the seven brought into the side.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

14:47

O'Neil makes one change to the Wolves team which beat Burnley, and it comes between the sticks as Sa recovers from a back injury to replace Bentley, who made a crucial double save while that game was still poised at 0-0. Rayan Ait-Nouri and Pedro Neto are still out, but there is hope in the Wolves camp that both may return for their next game, at West Ham in eight days' time.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

14:43

NOTTINGHAM FOREST SUBS: Ibrahim Sangare, Chris Wood, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Nicolas Dominguez, Felipe, Odysseas Vlachodimos, Divock Origi, Danilo, Ola Aina.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST (3-5-2): Matt Turner; Willy Boly, Moussa Niakhate, Murillo; Neco Williams, Orel Mangala, Ryan Yates, Cheikhou Kouyate, Harry Toffolo; Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White.

14:39

WOLVES SUBS: Matt Doherty, Santiago Bueno, Boubacar Traore, Fabio Silva, Sasa Kalajdzic, Tommy Doyle, Dan Bentley, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Tawanda Chirewa.

WOLVES (3-4-3): Jose Sa; Maximilian Kilman, Craig Dawson, Toti Gomes; Nelson Semedo, Mario Lemina, Joao Gomes, Hugo Bueno; Pablo Sarabia, Matheus Cunha, Hwang Hee-chan.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

14:35

Forest and their boss Steve Cooper, meanwhile, are entering the last chance saloon here. Many expected Cooper to be sacked after his team were humiliated in a 5-0 defeat at Fulham in midweek, and if reports are to be believed, another loss here would spell the end for the popular Forest coach. The visitors sit four points clear of the relegation zone after losing four Premier League games on the spin, and the patience of tripper-happy owner Evangelos Marinakis seems to be wearing thin.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Nottingham Forest

14:31

Gary O'Neil's Wolves are targeting two home wins in the space of four days after overcoming Burnley on this ground on Tuesday, when Hwang Hee-chan's eighth Premier League goal of the season gave them a hard-fought 1-0 win over the Clarets. That result lifted Wolves nine points clear of the relegation zone, and they could climb into the top half with another victory here, if results elsewhere go their way.
