Nottingham Forest will be ruing missed opportunities as they enter the break level with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.
Forward pair Simon Cox and Billy Sharp both missed great chances to put the visitors ahead after the latter had cancelled out Bjorn Sigurdarson's opener.
The Icelandic forward fired Wolves into a sixth-minute lead when his fierce first-time strike from the edge of the box flew past Lee Camp.
Sharp maintained Forest's record of scoring in every away fixture this season when he beat the offside trap to shoot under Carl Ikeme from Henri Lansbury's fine diagonal pass.
The visitors should have moved in front but Cox and Sharp were wasteful from good positions either side of the half-hour mark.
As the interval approached Wolves had a chance of their own to claim a half-time advantage but Sigurdarson was superbly denied by Camp.
