Nottingham Forest's winless streak extended to seven games as they drew 1-1 with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the City Ground. With plenty riding on the game, there was a terrific show of support when Steve Cooper emerged from the tunnel before kick-off. And after a positive start, his team got their just rewards shortly before the break. Injuries had an impact on Cooper's team selection, but those who got the nod looked up for the challenge early on. Brennan Johnson and Danilo both tried their luck in the opening 15 minutes, with the former drawing a save from Jose Sa. Wolves did look a threat, though. The bar came to Forest's rescue before the half-hour, when Moussa Niakhate was spared an own goal after flicking on a cross, while Neco Williams and Keylor Navas combined to thwart Matheus Nunes. The breakthrough came with 38 minutes played. Morgan Gibbs-White and Danilo combined to play in Johnson, who finished from a tight angle. And the Wales international felt he should have had the opportunity to make it 2-0 a couple of minutes later, arguing he was pulled back by Toti. It was the visitors' turn to protest for a penalty after the break, arguing Adama Traore was fouled by Felipe. With nothing given, it led to scuffles on the touchline which saw assistant managers Alan Tate and Pablo Sanz sent off. Forest had their chances in the second half. But they were made to pay for not taking them as Daniel Podence equalised with seven minutes to go. 17:13Sarah Clapson Here's how we rated the Reds in today's draw Read more, here 16:55Sarah Clapson That's that.
