Pedro Neto scored an added-time winner as Wolves came from behind to earn a dramatic victory and stop Chelsea going top of the Premier League.
Daniel Podence had levelled
in the second half after Olivier Giroud put the Blues ahead.
The Portugal forward tiptoed
through the Chelsea defence before wrong-footing goalkeeper Edouard Mendy with
a shot that deflected in off Reece James.
It came after a fierce
Giroud volley from Ben Chilwell's cross crept through Rui Patricio's gloves to
open the scoring for the visitors.
Neto was denied a late
penalty for the hosts after referee Stuart Attwell reviewed his original
decision on the pitch-side monitor and judged the Wolves forward was not fouled
by Reece James.
But the 20-year-old broke
away in the 95th minute and fired a low strike into the far corner beyond Mendy
to earn Wolves only their second win in six games.
It is a second successive
defeat for Chelsea after they were beaten at Everton on Saturday, with Frank
Lampard's side again missing an opportunity to go top of the table.
