Forest held by bottom side Wolves despite having 35 shots

Nottingham Forest missed the chance to go five points clear of the relegation zone as they were held to a 0-0 draw by bottom side Wolves, despite having 35 shots at the City Ground.

A Sean Dyche side has never had as many attempts in a Premier League game, but Forest came away with just a point in a blow to their survival hopes, with a daunting run of fixtures on the horizon. Their next three league games are against Liverpool, Brighton and Man City.

Morgan Gibbs-White and new-signing Lorenzo Lucca spurned big chances in a one-sided first half but their best opportunity fell to defender Morato midway through the second half. He could not beat Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa from point-blank range.

Wolves defended admirably to claim their fourth away point this season and could well have nicked a win in stoppage-time. The impressive teenager Mateus Mane, however, hit his effort straight at Forest 'keeper Stefan Ortega on the break.

Forest have to settle with being three points above the relegation zone and failed to up the pressure on managerless Tottenham, who they could have gone level with had they claimed victory. Wolves, meanwhile, remain rooted to the bottom of the table, 18 points from safety.
