Nottingham Forest 1-1 Wolves: Bellegarde beauty earns visitors first point

Wolves earned their first point of the Premier League season following a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

Chris Wood s towering header was cancelled out by Jean-Ricner Bellegarde s stunning strike as the spoils were shared at the City Ground.

The hosts took the lead in the 10th minute as Wood rose to nod home from Elliot Anderson s corner.

However, the visitors were level just two minutes later in spectacular fashion, with Bellegarde firing a stunning long-range volley into the roof of the net.

Gary O Neil s side had Sam Johnstone to thank after the break, with the debutant producing a strong hand to deny Wood his second goal of the game.

Matheus Cunha curled a shot just wide while the offside flag denied Wood later on, with Forest unable to snatch victory but extending their unbeaten start to the campaign.

A point earned at the City Ground.
