Chelsea were left stunned at the Molineux as Pedro Neto completed a comeback win for Wolves with a 95th minute strike in Tuesday night's Premier League encounter. The Blues who were on the front foot for the most part of the proceeding could not hold their nerves, ultimately falling to a 2-1 defeat after scoring the game's opener.
Following a relatively drab first half from both sides, Chelsea were put in front after Olivier Giroud's half-volley slipped through the fingers of Rui Patricio in the 49th minute. 17 minutes later, Daniel Podence produced a masterstroke of a strike inside the Blues' penalty area to restore parity.

The game could have gone in favor of Nuno Espirito Santos' men earlier but a penalty decision that initially went the way of Pedro Neto being overturned meant that the win was there for the taking by both sides. Nevertheless, the latter would go on to be the hero at the dying embers of the game, finishing off a swift counter-attacking move to condemn Chelsea to their second defeat of the season.
