The hosts came into the game following a win on Tuesday night against Burnley.
The visitors desperate for three points after a 5-0 defeat away at Fulham.
It was reported pre-match depending on the result Steve Cooper’s time at Nottingham Forest could be up if this result did not go in his favour.
Two former Wolves players returned to Molineux; academy graduate Morgan Gibbs-White and centre-back Wily Boly.
Harry Toffolo scored a leaping header from a cross which came from Neco Williams, he out-jumped Nelson Semedo to reach the ball and left Jose Sa standing in the 14th minute.
Wolves had various spells of possession but little to show for it until the 32nd minute when Mario Lemina neatly threaded a ball through Nottingham Forest’s defence into Pablo Sarabia who played a reverse pass into the path of in-form Matheus Cunha who slotted away his fifth goal of the season to make the scores level once again.
The visitors had a glorious opportunity to take the lead when Kouyate pick-pocketed Wolves captain Max Kilman, the Forest midfielder surged towards goal in a one vs one against Jose Sa but Sa done extremely well to make himself big and save the attempt on goal.
The first half finished 1-1.
Nottingham Forest had the better chances in the second half when Anthony Elanga rattled the crossbar from close range in the 53rd minute however the offside flag was raised.
Toffolo had an opportunity to score his second in the 69th minute, Neco Willams pressed Matt Doherty near the corner flag and successfully won the ball. He then delivered a teasing cross which Toffolo met, this time in a more central position only a couple yards from goal however his effort was headed over the crossbar.
Matheus Cunha had an opportunity following a similar sequence winning the ball high in the opposition’s half, the Brazilian cut inside however his attempt was saved by Matt Turner and cleared by Nottingham Forest.
Both teams had spells of possession and chances to win the game, however the referee blew for full-time at 1-1.
Going forward for the reds, they are back at The City Ground as Tottenham Hotspur travel from the capital this Friday for a eight o’clock kick off. After a comfortable 4 -1 win against Newcastle United.
