Podence salvages point for Wolves at Forest

Wolves weathered a second-half storm at Nottingham Forest, with substitute and top scorer Daniel Podence salvaging a point in a 1-1 draw.

Wolves started the game brightly, with Adama Traore carving inroads from the right channel but Forest increasingly began to take charge and took the lead through a neatly-worked goal from Brennan Johnson.

The hosts upped the ante in the second half and missed a clutch of golden opportunities to double their lead, with their front three of Johnson, Emmanuel Dennis and Morgan Gibbs-White wreaking carnage with breakaway attacks.

With Julen Lopetegui's side huffing, puffing and struggling to create opportunities on goal, the Spaniard threw top scorer Podence into the fold at the break and was repaid with seven minutes of normal time remaining when the Portugal international sold Neco Williams with a feint and smashed past Keilor Navas.

The result leaves merely one point dividing the teams in the Premier League table, with Wolves sat in 13th on 28 points ahead of Forest in 14th, who have one game in hand.
