Wolves Vs Nottingham Forest
Wolves fail to win, Forest rises to 16th position

Nottingham Forest managed to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 in a Premier League match at Molineux Stadium. The winning goal was scored by Igor Jesus in the 72nd minute, utilizing a cross from Omari Hutchinson.


This win takes Nottingham Forest to 16th place in the Premier League standings, while Wolves remain at the bottom with 2 points from 14 matches...


Nottingham Forest piled more misery on Wolverhampton Wanderers with a tight 1-0 win at Molineux. Igor Jesus' second-half header proved to be the difference, securing back-to-back Premier League away wins for Forest for the first time since January.


Wolves, who had picked up just two points from their opening 13 PL games, remain winless this season, one of three sides across Europe's top-five leagues to have failed to register a league win. The result leaves them rooted to the bottom of the table, while Forest climb to 16th with 15 points from 14 games.


Nottingham Forest got off to a strong start at Molineux, with Igor Jesus and Dan Ndoye directing headers off target. The Tricky Trees continued to press for a breakthrough, but clear-cut chances were hard to come by, with Jesus having a close-range header ruled out for offside against Ndoye.


Wolves improved after the restart and had a chance to take the lead, but Jhon Arias headed wastefully wide from eight yards.




Neco Williams' curled free-kick was thwarted by Sam Johnstone, and Omari Hutchinson's effort was also denied by the Wolves goalkeeper. Despite this, Nottingham Forest's pressure paid off in the 72nd minute when Hutchinson's delivery was headed home by Igor Jesus, scoring his first-ever Premier League goal.


Jesus' header was the difference between the two sides, with Forest securing a 1-0 win at Molineux. The goal was a result of excellent work from Hutchinson, who whipped in a cross that Jesus beat Johnstone to, heading it into the back of the net.


Wolves pushed hard for a late equaliser, but it was Nottingham Forest who held firm to secure a 1-0 win. Substitute Matheus Mané scuffed an effort across the face of goal, while Marshall Munetsi's tame strike was easily saved by Matz Sels.

The win extends Forest's winning streak to two games, while Wolves' winless league run at home continues, with nine games without a win (D2, L7).
