Wolves 1-0 Nottingham Forest: Ruben Neves scores penalty and Brennan Johnson misses penalty

In a game of two penalties, Wolves came out on top to climb out of the bottom half of the table.

A video assistant referee delay at the start of the second half allowed Ruben Neves to score from the penalty spot.

After a second lengthy VAR intervention when the referee missed a pull back by Ryan Yates, Wolves keeper Jose Sa brilliantly turned away Brennan Johnson's spot- kick.

Sa has a broken bone in his wrist and he has been playing with it since he injured it.

Max Kilman hit the inside of a post with a headed goal, but the rebound went straight to Forest keeper Dean Henderson.

It was a great way for Steve Davis and James Collins to start the week, with a home game againstLeicester next Sunday.

The pain continues for Cooper. They haven't won since August and haven't picked up a point in their last seven games.

Day to remember for stand-in boss Davis

This victory will be particularly satisfying for Davis.

Jeff Shi's search for a permanent replacement for Bruno Lage continues, and Wolves' biggest problem is a lack of goal threat.

It was only Wolves' fourth goal in the league this season and their first in the second half of a game for 11 matches, which gave them their second win in 17 matches.

Adama Traore is the only one who cares about Wolves' slide down the league.

The Spain winger was a real threat during two seventh-place finishes.

At his best Traore is able to unhinge defences with his pace alone.

With his contract running out at the end of the season, Traore's time at Wolves seems to be drifting to a mediocre end.

He crossed for Kilman to head against a post and missed a chance when Rayan Ait-Nouri nodded wide.

After Harry Toffolo was hit by Traore's shot, Wolves were able to take their penalty.

Cooper's penalty pain

Cooper was given a new three-year contract by Forest after their four- goal hammering atLeicester. His tenure would be in serious danger without it.

Cooper was only able to watch as Johnson missed the chance to level.

Forest posted a picture of one of their players cuddling three wolves with the caption 'playtime' a few hours before the game started. Someone at the City Ground did not like the post and deleted it.

The outcome was so bad that the tweet was ill-advised. Forest look like a becalmed version of what they are supposed to be despite a summer outlay of more than 100 million dollars.
