A match which was dominated by penalty decisions - given and not given - ended with Nottingham Forest losing 1-0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Reds had a chance early on when Scott McKenna got his head to a Morgan Gibbs-White corner. But it was the hosts who were on top for much of the first half.
Rayan Ait-Nouri headed off target from an Adama Traore cross on the 20-minute mark. The latter then fired off target following a quick break barely a minute later.

Cooper avoids controversy
Head coach Steve Cooper was left “biting his tongue” over the referee’s performance in Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
A Ruben Neves penalty proved to be the difference between the two sides at Molineux. It was given after referee Thomas Bramall went to his pitchside monitor after a lengthy VAR check, penalising Harry Toffolo for a handball.
A similar incident in the first half, however, saw nothing given when a Neco Williams shot was blocked. But the Reds did have the opportunity to equalise late on, when Matheus Nunes was punished for a foul on Ryan Yates.
Forest delete tweet
Nottingham Forest deleted a tweet teasing Wolverhampton Wanderers in the build-up to the fixture at Molineux.
Forest went to the West Midlands looking to build on their 1-1 against Aston Villa earlier in the week against another team struggling at the wrong end of the Premier League table.
Emmanuel Dennis opened the scoring for Forest in that game and is a huge talking point in the build-up to this clash too, with the summer recruit featuring in a provocative pre-match graphic posted by the Forest media team.
