Daniel Podence was making his first appearance for Wolves this season after undergoing groin surgery earlier this summer

Wolves secured their first win of the season as they beat out-of-form Nottingham Forest to reach the Carabao Cup third round.

The visitors almost took the lead when Daniel Podence got on to Rayan Ait-Nouri's cross, but Ethan Horvath saved.

Romain Saiss eventually put Wolves ahead just before the hour mark, and Podence soon doubled their lead.

Francisco Trincao's late close-range finish and Morgan Gibbs-White's 20-yard curler sealed the victory.

Both sides came into the tie on a losing run, and Forest made 10 changes to the side that lost to Stoke, while Wolves made seven alterations of their own.

The visitors have lost to both Leicester and Tottenham in the Premier League, but have played some impressive football without reward this term.

And Podence, who returned from injury to start, was a constant threat in a dominant first half, almost putting his side ahead with a shot from an acute angle that cannoned off the post.

They were finally rewarded when Saiss poked home from Ki-Jana Hoever's cross, and they were two up just moments later when Podence slotted home from Fabio Silva's delivery.

Late goals from Trincao and Gibbs-White added to the misery for Chris Hughton's side, who have now lost five out of six games in all competitions this term.
