Nottingham Forest stopped a four-match losing run to ease the pressure on manager Steve Cooper as they held Wolverhampton Wanderers to a 1-1 draw at Molineux.
Harry Toffolo opened the scoring for Forest but the in-form Matheus Cunha struck the Wolves equaliser, making it five straight Premier League matches he has been involved in a goal.
How the match unfolded
Forest made a great start, opening the scoring in the 14th minute when Toffolo rose highest to head in Neco Williams’ floated cross at the back post.
But 18 minutes later Wolves equalised. Mario Lemina played in Pablo Sarabia down the right. He cut back the ball for Matheus Cunha, who sidefooted home.
Forest nearly restored their lead through a Wolves mistake in the fifth minute of first-half stoppage time. Cheikhou Kouyate dispossessed Max Kilman and ran through on goal, but was unable to beat the onrushing Jose Sa, who had recovered from an injury to return in goal.
In the second half Forest picked up where they left off the opening period. Anthony Elanga’s shot rattled off the top of the bar but the forward had been flagged offside.
Forest continued to pile on the pressure. Williams delivered an excellent cross into the box that Toffolo somehow headed over from three yards.
Wolves threatened themselves and the recalled Matt Turner was called into action in the Forest goal. The American had to make a double save to deny Matheus Cunha from grabbing all three points for Wolves.
The draw sends Wolves up to 12th on 19 points. Forest remain 16th on 14 points, only five above the relegation zone.
