Chris Wood's towering header was cancelled out by Bellegarde's goal as the spoils were shared at The City Ground.

The hosts took the lead in the 10th minute as New Zealand star Wood rose to nod home from Elliot Anderson's corner.

However, the visitors were level just two minutes later in spectacular fashion, with Bellegarde firing a wonderful long-range volley into the roof of the net.

Gary O'Neil's side had Sam Johnstone to thank after the break, with the debutant producing a strong hand to deny Wood his second goal of the game.

Matheus Cunha curled a shot just wide while the offside flag denied Wood later on, with Forest unable to snatch victory but extending its unbeaten start to the campaign.
