Dexter Blackstock joined Nottingham Forest from QPR in 2009

Dexter Blackstock's late goal earned Nottingham Forest a point at Wolves, who have gone more than two months without a win at Molineux.

Ethan Ebanks-Landell powerfully nodded home Jordan Graham's superb free-kick to give Wolves an early lead.

Forest's Chris O'Grady had a goal ruled out for offside in the first half.

Clear-cut chances remained few and far between after the break before substitute Blackstock volleyed home Henri Lansbury's corner.

Kevin McDonald almost snatched victory for the hosts five minutes from time with a stinging volley from the edge of the box which was bravely headed clear by Daniel Pinillos.

It was an often tense and edgy atmosphere in front of a home crowd who have not seen Wolves win since 3 October.

However, local boy Ebanks-Landell gave Kenny Jackett's men the ideal start when he rose highest to head in the impressive Graham's pinpoint cross after 15 minutes.

Forest, who struggled to show a sustained attacking threat, created their first chance when a jinking run from Nelson Oliveira set up O'Grady to tap home, but the striker was a couple of yards offside.

Wolves dominated the opening stages of the second half as Ebanks-Landell headed another fine Graham corner wide, but they were made to pay for not extending their advantage.

Blackstock, who had only come onto the pitch moments earlier, stole in at the far post to clinically finish past Carl Ikeme.

Wolves remain 14th in the Championship having drawn four of their past five games, while Forest stay in 15th.

"The performance was good and if you are looking at the last five games we haven't lost any - but we have only won one and drawn four.

"The effort of the players was very good and at times there was some quality football as well.

"But ultimately we are frustrated because we want wins and the gap between one point and three is costing us at the moment.

"We don't feel we are far away. We are not a poor side but we need to find that edge to put sides away and capitalise on when we do have the lead."

Nottingham Forest boss Dougie Freedman:

"I was very proud of this performance tonight because it is something we have been developing, coming back from setbacks.

"We showed resilience when we had to because I thought Wolves gave it a right good go in the middle part of the game.

"The reason that we got a well-deserved point was because we started with a lot of confidence in the first 15 or 20 minutes, when I think they scored against the run of play.

"Then in the last 15 minutes we really showed that energy and aggressiveness which got us a fair result. So I come away from here very pleased with how we played."

It was Ebanks-Landell's first goal of the season
