Igor Jesus scored a second-half header to give Nottingham Forest a 1-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux, extending the hosts' winless start to the Premier League season. The Brazilian nodded home in the 72nd minute after a mistake by Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, capitalising on a cross from Omari Hutchinson.
Wolves remain rooted to the bottom of the table without a win in 14 games, and have now lost eight consecutive matches. New manager Rob Edwards, who left Middlesbrough to take charge, has yet to oversee a goal in three games. The defeat leaves Wolves on course to challenge Derby County's record low of 11 points in a season.
Elliot Anderson was the standout performer for Forest, controlling the midfield and showing leadership throughout. The England international was seen berating teammate Dan Ndoye during the first half and demanding more from officials. His performance earned a 7.5 rating from the Daily Mail.
VAR again proved controversial, with Jesus having a first-half goal disallowed after a lengthy check for offside against Ndoye. The incident has reignited calls for the technology to be scrapped, with some suggesting a trial season without it. However, the Premier League is unlikely to abandon the system.
Wolves fans turned on owners Fosun during the match, frustrated by the team's poor form and imprecise football. Edwards will need significant backing in the January transfer window to avoid relegation, as the club's current trajectory looks bleak.
