THAT’S A WRAP
Thanks for joining us this evening, don’t forget to take a look at the match report courtesy David Kidd.
There’s also a blog underway for the Man City v West Brom clash.
NUNO SPEAKS
Speaking on Amazon, Nuno Espirito Santo says: “We reacted well [to going one goal down] we moved the game well and were always in it.
“We were well organised and I thought we played really well in the second half.
“I think the first half, the game was very tight, Chelsea had the ball, but we were organised and created problems from set-pieces.
“We didn’t start the second half well either, we must analyse it. But, after that, the boys believed that the game was there to be competitive and they did well.”
COMPLACENT CHELSEA?
After the game, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard was disappointed with the performance he saw from his side.
He says: “At 1-0 we should see the game out.
“We weren’t playing that well tonight, so we should have hung onto 1-0, control the game and control the counter attacks, which we didn’t do.”
When asked if his side got complacent with their long unbeaten run, he added: “We were playing very well, with a long unbeaten run, but maybe the lads thought we were playing well- when you think you’re playing well these things can happen.
“The players will need to think about their performance during the next few days, this is the Premier League, we need to do better.”
FALING SHORT
N’Golo Kanté says: “We are all disappointed- after the last loss, we wanted to have a win here.
“The first half was not great for us, to finish the game conceding like that is a big disappointment.
“Even if we are not playing great, we were one goal ahead, so we could have managed the difference.
“We conceded too many counter attacks today.
“The most important is to get back to winning ways, against West Ham at home next.
NETO SPEAKS
Pedro Neto says: “We wanted to win so much, we worked so hard and really deserved that win.
“It’s very difficult to go a goal down, they’re a good team, but in the locker room we spoke about getting together and going as a team and that’s what we’ve done- we’re very happy.
“We know that we can win the game in the first minute and last minute- we worked very hard for the whole game and did well.”
HERE’S THE WINNER!
FT: WOLVES 2-1 CHELSEA
WOLVES 2-1 CHELSEA
96. Neto’s the last man on the ball, racing towards the Chelsea box, he tries to have one final shot from a tight angle on the right but it flies out the other side of the box.
WOLVES 2-1 CHELSEA
96. Last chance saloon for Chelsea, as even Mendy is up in the box for Chilwell’s corner.
His first corner is cleared at the near post, but his second makes it into the central area as Boly and Zouma compete for the ball.
WOLVES 2-1 CHELSEA
94. Wolves counter quickly and Neto is picked out, deep in Chelsea’s half.
Neto faces Zuma one-on-one and breaks into the box on the left, Zouma struggles to deal with the drop of the shoulder and shift of pace.
It’s a brilliant finish as Neto drills the ball into the bottom corner.
GOOOAL
NETO WINS IT FOR WOLVES! WHAT A DRAMATIC ENDING
WOLVES 1-1 CHELSEA
93. Semedo is booked for a clumsy challenge on Pulisic, he grabs him by the shoulder and clips his ankle at the same time.

90. Five additional minutes at Molineux.
But Boly is down, clutching his hamstring, just as Wolves have made their last substitution.

89. Podence, after an impressive performance, is replaced by Vitinha.
WOLVES 1-1 CHELSEA
88. Coady gifts Chelsea a free-kick, is there going to be one more goal this evening?
Not by the looks of Chilwell’s swing into the box, from the left.
He lazily appears to attempt to send it into the box, after Werner played the corner to him, but it’s sent into the empty stand.
WOLVES 1-1 CHELSEA
87. Neves is given a talking to by the ref after bringing down Kovacic from behind.

WOLVES 1-1 CHELSEA
83. Chelsea have a chance, but Abraham can’t get on the end of a deflected shot- he’s literally dead-centre in the six-yard box, but he can’t quite get his outstretched leg to the ball.
WOLVES 1-1 CHELSEA
82. VAR check complete, no penalty!
Neto is horrified, but there are cheers from the Chelsea technical area.
In fairness to James, he didn’t make any contact. Neto, technically, should be booked for diving.
WOLVES 1-1 CHELSEA
80. Kante is chasing Neto down, but it’s James who comes in from the left to disposses him.
Having looked at the VAR replay, there’s little contact made- we’re all waiting for the ref to look at the monitor…
WOLVES 1-1 CHELSEA
80. IT’S A PEN TO WOLVES!!!
WOLVES 1-1 CHELSEA
78. Traore finds Semedo steaming into the area but instead of having a shot, which looks like a better option, he looks for a cut back.

77. It’s now an end-to-end game here at Molineux.
WOLVES 1-1 CHELSEA
75. Chilwell, Podence and Somedo seem to be involved in a set-to on the touchline.
Podence tries to pinch the ball off Chilwell, as he tries to play the throw-in quickly, but Chilwell doesn’t release it- instead he pushes the Wolves man.
