Nottingham Forest's Premier League survival hopes suffered a major blow as they were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by bottom side Wolves despite firing 35 shots at the City Ground. The result leaves Sean Dyche's side in a precarious position just three points above the relegation zone, having failed to capitalize on dropped points by teams around them.

Forest's 35 attempts without scoring marked the most by any team in a Premier League match since Manchester United's 38-shot stalemate against Burnley in October 2016. The hosts generated an expected goals tally of 2.73 but couldn't convert, with Morgan Gibbs-White, Lorenzo Lucca, and defender Morato all spurning clear chances. Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa made crucial saves, while teenager Mateus Mane nearly snatched a shock winner in stoppage time.

This missed opportunity comes at a terrible time for Forest, who now face a daunting run of fixtures including Liverpool, Brighton, and Manchester City. The draw also means they couldn't apply pressure to managerless Tottenham, who remain above them in the table. Wolves, meanwhile, claimed only their fourth away point of the season but remain rooted to the bottom, 18 points from safety. Forest's inability to break down the league's worst side could prove costly as the relegation battle intensifies.
