Wolverhampton, England – Igor Jesus's first Premier League goal propelled Nottingham Forest to a 1-0 victory over a struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium on Wednesday. The win heaps further misery on Wolves, who remain winless after 14 games this season.

The game was low on quality for extended periods, with clear-cut chances few and far between. The first half was uneventful until a controversial VAR decision in the 37th minute. Igor Jesus initially thought he had opened the scoring with a header from an Omari Hutchinson corner, but the goal was disallowed after a lengthy VAR review that lasted over five minutes. Dan Ndoye was deemed to be in an offside position, obstructing Wolves' goalkeeper Sam Johnstone's view.

Wolves barely threatened, failing to register a shot on target in the first half. Their first real opportunity came shortly after the restart when Jhon Arias headed Jackson Tchatchoua's cross narrowly wide.

Nottingham Forest responded well and eventually found the breakthrough in the 72nd minute. Omari Hutchinson, making his first league start for Forest, delivered a precise cross that found Igor Jesus, who bravely headed past Johnstone. Jesus rose above Emmanuel Agbadou to meet the cross, giving Forest the lead.

Wolves struggled to create further openings after the goal, and their wait for a win and a clean sheet continues. Rob Edwards' team remains rooted to the bottom of the table, with their chances of survival looking increasingly slim.

For Nottingham Forest, this victory marks a significant step towards Premier League safety. The win moves them four points clear of the relegation zone. It is their fourth win in the last five matches in all competitions.
