That is all we have time for on Tribe as Nottingham Forest and Wolves share the points. I have been Elliot Thompson and thank you for joining me. Make sure you stay with us on Tribe as West Ham take on Manchester City in 15 minutes.
So for these two sides, it is nothing for two weeks due to an international break. After that though Nottingham Forest have a tough away trip to Anfield facing Liverpool. Wolves have a home match against Newcastle as they aim to win their first league game of the campaign.
Wolverhampton started the game on the front foot. Ait-Nouri had a chance blocked on the line in the opening minutes. They seemed to be the team in control but some poor defending from a corner meant they went behind. However that only lasted two minutes as Bellegarde scored a screamer. He got on the end of a tackle from Lemina on the edge of the box. On his right foot, he arrowed a cracker into the top right corner. Cunha towards the end of the first half fired not far wide from a similar position. In the second 45 minutes, he continued to be their biggest threat. He came the closest to the winner. On the left side of the box, he side-footed a shot towards the right corner. The ball rolled just wide of the right post. The one talking point for Gary O'Neil will undoubtedly be the penalty claim. Wood was marking Dawson from a free-kick. The ball was floated towards the pair on the right side of the box. It hit Wood's hand as clear as day. The referee didn't give anything and VAR agreed. O'Neil lost his head on the sideline as he was shown a yellow card. Maybe it is something he needs to learn to control as he had a lot of angry moments last season too. Wolves overall though should be pleased with their first point of the campaign.
IT ENDS ALL SQUARE AFTER TWO EARLY GOALS! Nottingham Forest have managed to keep their unbeaten run going with a draw at home. They took the lead in the opening ten minutes thanks to a nonchalant header from Chris Wood. He nodded in from an Anderson corner from the right wing. In the first half, Gibbs-White nearly scored a free-kick but apart from that, there weren't too many chances. The second half followed the same pattern as the encounter was very stop-start. With five minutes left though Wood thought he had scored the winner. From a scruffy corner, he volleyed home on his right foot. However, the reason he was free on the left side of the box was because he had drifted offside. In the ten minutes of additional time, home fans wanted more chances. Both teams struggled to do much in stoppage time though so a draw seems to be the fair result.
90+10'
Lemina in the midfield carries the ball forward on the right wing. Gibbs-White dives in to make sure he brings him down so he is shown a yellow card. Both sides seem very tired now in stoppage time.

90+7'
Dawson runs forward on the left side as he takes the pressure of his defence. Milenkovic comes across taking him down rather cynically. Dawson takes his time with the set-piece. Forest fans aren't happy but Johnstone comes over to take the free-kick.
90+4'
SHOT! Johnstone sends a long free-kick up to Hwang on the left flank. A header from Williams falls to Doyle from around 30 yards out. It bounces in front of him so he volleys at goal. The ball loops not too far over the bar. Sels was worried for a moment there.
90+1'
Nuno Santo is going for this one now in additional time. Anderson and Elanga are off. Forward Taiwo Awoniyi and Jota Silva are on for the pairing.
