CHELSEA drew 2-2 with Wolves at Stamford Bridge, conceding in the 97th minute to drop two vital points in the top four race.
Hours after Boehly signed the papers which would confirm his £4.25bn buyout of the West London club, the American sat and watched his new side at the Bridge.
Lukaku scored twice before Francisco Trincao pulled one back late on and Conor Coady equalised seconds after the clock had passed 96 minutes.
