MATCH REPORT: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers. “Forest can be gratified to be undefeated and playing with momentum, but Nuno will expect a greater conversion rate considering the attacking quality at his disposal,” writes Peter Lansley at the City Ground.
Bellegarde’s blast denies wasteful Forest and leaves Wolves relieved with point
MATCH REPORT: Ipswich Town 1-1 Fulham. “The conclusion from a hard-fought, helter-skelter draw in which Ipswich were often the better team is that they have the talent and spirit to stay up,” observes John Brewin at Portman Road.

Post-collapse postbag … and the Clockwatch community rallies round in Mary Waltz’s hour of need.
“Thoughts and prayers etc, Mary Waltz” – Simon McMahon “Poor Mary Waltz. Thoughts and prayers, poor dear” – Angelo Puglisi “I fear for Mary Walsh’s well-being” – Mike MacKenzie “Mary Waltz’s comedown off her hallucinogens has begun” – Richard Wilkinson
Finally, from Mary herself: “This is a foreshadowing of hell. Only Everton can collapse like this. Sigh.”
Stay strong, Mary. Still 35 matches to go.

The Tractor Boys harvest their first point of their Premier League season.
It ends all square at the City Ground. Fair on the balance of play, but Forest will point to the penalty they should have had.
Leicester still wait for their first win of the campaign, as Villa notch their second.
… as are, quite unbelievably, Everton. Sean Dyche disappears straight down the tunnel, despite Andoni Iraola’s attempt to hang onto his arm and shake his hand. How on earth did Everton lose that? How did Bournemouth win it?!
Saints still looking for their first point of the season …
Luis Sinisterra completes an absurd comeback. Oh Everton.
Everton 2-2 Bournemouth. The Cherries continue to carve out chances. Everton suddenly hanging on for a point!
Leicester 1-2 Aston Villa. Youri Tielemans and Jamie Vardy come together in the Villa box. The hosts want a penalty, but the tackle’s good.
Lewis Cook breaks Sean Dyche’s heart. This comeback came out of absolutely nowhere.
Everton 2-1 Bournemouth. The hosts suddenly look nervous. They should have been home and hosed, but with six minutes of injury time to play, this is on. “Don’t worry Joe Pearson (4.12pm),” begins Zach Neeley. “Next week will be a new handball interpretation, only the moon changes more consistently. (‘It looked like a half crescent to me but VAR disagrees.’)“
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Wolves. Nope. No goal. VAR confirms the offside.
Bournemouth have done absolutely nothing in attack this afternoon … until now. But has Antoine Semenyo’s effort come too late?
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Wolves. Some pinball in the Forest box. Chris Wood scores what looks like a winner …. but the flag pops up for offside. VAR to take a look.
In lieu of late Premier League drama, here’s Kári Tulinius with some nerve-jangling action from Germany. “Today’s Bundesliga thriller was Stuttgart v Mainz, which ended 3-3, with the Carnival Club equalizing in the fourth minute of extra time. As a fan of the Swabians this made my heart sink, but I have to admit that this was a good show for the neutrals. Now excuse me while I go fish my heart back out of the depths.”
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Wolves. Now it’s Wolverhampton’s turn to scream for a penalty, as the ball pings off Chris Wood’s arm. This one doesn’t look quite so obvious, not that it stops Gary O’Neil raging hard.
The on-loan Facundo Buonanotte sets himself and smashes home, and it’s back on at the King Power.
Ipswich 1-1 Fulham. Not a great deal going on at Portman Road, despite Liam Delap’s best efforts. “Obviously, someone dosed my morning coffee,” writes Mary Waltz, who in the spirit of the current 1990s revivalism, has embraced trippy hedonism. “It has to be a hallucination; my TV is showing Everton with a two-goal lead.”
Jan Bednarek dithers, Brentford steal away with the ball, and Bryan Mbeumo scores his second of the afternoon. It’s surely over for toothless Saints.
Unai Emery sends on Jhon Durán, who is quickly in the thick of it, converting a Lucas Digne cross to double Villa’s lead.
Leicester 0- 1 Aston Villa. Oliver Skipp and Harry Winks combine to set up Jamie Vardy, who scores … but it won’t count, because the ball hit hapless referee David Coote during the build-up. What a fiasco.
Seamus Coleman misses a gilt-edged chance to put Everton two up, but no matter. Dwight McNeil feeds Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who dinks over a stranded Kepa to double the hosts’ lead. Those baby steps getting a little more assured.
Lull-in-action postbag. “Have we come full circle on handball in a very short time?” wonders Joe Pearson. “Seems like just a season or so ago, even the slightest graze of the arm in the box was a penalty. Now, even the obvious ones go unpunished. I have absolutely no clue anymore.” Welcome to my world, which I’ve inhabited since about 1993. Meanwhile Mary Waltz responds to Everton’s opener: “Hey, we scored! Baby steps, baby steps.”
Jack Harrison crosses. Michael Keane slots on the volley. A deserved lead for Everton, who started the day at the bottom of the Premier League. Keane never the most popular player at Goodison; he’ll have gone up a notch or two in everyone’s estimation now.
More from Scotland, this time from Simon McMahon. “It gives me no pleasure to have to say it, but Dundee are clearly in free fall already after the sale of Luke McCowan to Celtic yesterday. As things stands they are now behind United and in the bottom six, having played a game more. Frankly, it’ll be a miracle if they stay up.”
Scottish Premiership half-times.
St Johnstone 0-1 Motherwell
“Having given the Jambos a skelping last week, Well are up at McDiarmid Park,” reports James Humphires. “Not at the game so can’t know for sure, but given it was Dan Casey who scored I would put a tenner on a header, possibly even a thumping one.”
