Frustration definitely the key word for and Nuno Espírito Santo today…

Plenty of attacking threat but a familiar defensive fragility costs Forest again and denies them a precious win.

That's that. and Wolves draw 2-2. Plenty of attacking threat from Forest, who looked the more likely to win.
MGW and Danilo both scored impressive goals.
But they are denied a precious win by two Wolves goals that could both have been defended better.
Frustrating.

What a chance... Ribeiro plays Origi in down the right with his first touch. He was angling in on goal. He could and should have shot... but he tries to pick out Wood at the far post and gets too much on it

Forest's corners have had more menace about them today... Danilo just whipped one in that curled just beyond the far post

continue to push here and it is a game full of incident... Origi felt he might have had a penalty when his driving run was ended in the box and Williams just had another shot deflected wide... now Forest are having a flurry of corners.

Referee Craig Pawson shows MGW a yellow card for bouncing the ball away in disgust. He thought he had been fouled, only for a foul to be given against him. owner Evangelos Marinakis was up out of his seat at that, as well.

MGW lifts a wonderful chipped ball into the box for Hudson-Odoi, but he hesitates slightly and Sa makes a strong save at his feet

Now Reyna is replaced by Origi. He's had some decent moments... but it was also his first Premier League start for and he will have been blowing a bit.

SO CLOSE... Danilo curls in a shot from just inside the box and Sa has to make a big save to keep it out. Was heading for the top corner

GOAL. Wolves equalise. Another set piece goal conceded. Kilman with a header at the far post, from a corner... Sels doesn't properly deal with it. Cunha grabs his second of the game, converting the loose ball from close range. 2-2

HT and it is 1-1 after actually scored from a corner... a well taken header from MGW, who is being heralded as he heads off the pitch.
That cancelled out a fine, fine goal from Cunha, which did involve some defensive fragility from Forest...
