"Nottingham Forest played out a frustrating 0-0 draw with bottom club Wolves as they failed to ease their relegation concerns at the City Ground on Wednesday. Sean Dyche's team had the chance to go level on points with Tottenham, who sacked Thomas Frank earlier in the day, but they were unable to pull clear of the bottom three. The hosts raced out the blocks and should have gone ahead through Morgan Gibbs-White, but the Forest captain's header from Elliot Anderson's cross hit the side netting."
"Lorenzo Lucca then spurned another glorious chance for Forest, blazing over from inside the penalty area after Callum Hudson-Odoi had led a six-on-one counter-attack. Forest were booed off at half-time and almost found a response seven minutes after the restart, but Morato could only glance Omari Hutchinson's centre wide of the far post. Jose Sa then came to Wolves' rescue 14 minutes from time with two brilliant close-range stops, first denying Igor Jesus before clawing Morato's effort off the line."

Morgan Gibbs-White and Lorenzo Lucca missed clear chances, and Omari Hutchinson's cross was glanced wide by Morato. Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa made 10 saves, including two late close-range stops, preserving a vital point for the visitors.
