Rodrigo Muniz then had a great opportunity to give Fulham the lead, but he headed the ball too close to Arijanet Muric before Muric made another decent save, this time to deny Raul Jimenez. Omari Hutchinson then had the opportunity to win it for Ipswich, but he couldn’t guide the ball past Bernd Leno! In the end, it’s a decent point first point of the new season for Ipswich Town!

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Wolves
Rayan Ait Nouri had a good chance for Wolves right from the off which he just couldn’t quite squeeze into the back of the net before Nottingham Forest had the lead after just 10 minutes through Chris Wood. I honestly have no idea what Sam Johnstone was doing here! Anyway, just 2 minutes later and it was 1-all as Jean-Ricner Bellegarde equalised with a smashing strike! In the Second Half, Elliot Anderson’s effort deflected just over the bar before Sam Johnstone made up for his earlier mistake to pull off a good save to deny Chris Wood a second!
