Daniel Podence 8; Kurt Zouma 5, Kai Havertz 4: Wolves v Chelsea player ratings

Chelsea miss the chance to go top of the Premier League after dramatic defeat

WOLVES RATINGS: Rui Patricio - 5, The Portuguese stopper will be disappointed that he conceded from Olivier Giroud’s strike considering he got both hands on it. EPA

Willy Boly - 6, Should have been far more aggressive in his defending against Giroud for the opener. PA

Conor Coady - 7, Looked more comfortable at the heart of a back three and was solid in his defensive play. Reuters

Romain Saiss - 6, Showed plenty of resolve in his defensive play whenever Chelsea’s attackers went at him. AP

Nelson Semedo - 5, Some of his defending looked seriously poor, and he was lucky to get away with it. Booked for a late foul on Christian Pulisic. Reuters

Leander Dendoncker - 4, The game seemed to pass the Belgian by before he was substituted at half time. PA

Ruben Neves - 6, Had some speculative efforts from range but none of them turned into the spectacular strikes he’s so well known for. Reuters

Marcal - 6, Didn’t have much to do until Pulisic switched sides, but stood strong against the USMNT star. AFP

Pedro Neto - 7, Was a willing runner in behind and got his reward by scoring a late winner. Was adjudged to have dived after a VAR checked a penalty that was awarded. AP

Fabio Silva - 6, Showed great link up play and awareness at times but struggled physically. His goal was ruled out for a clear offside. Getty

Daniel Podence - 8, The Portuguese winger was Wolves’ biggest threat and deserved the goal that he carved out superbly. Was booked after a coming together with Chilwell. AP

SUBS: Owen Otasowie (Dendoncker HT’) - 6, Competed well on his Premier League debut and even won the header that helped Podence score Wolves’ goal. Getty

Adama Traore (Silva 61’) - 5, Picked up an injury just a couple of minutes after coming on and while he carried on this wasn’t his best display. PA

Vitinha (Podence 90‘) – N/R, Looked bright after coming on for the final few minutes and even assisted Neto’s winner. AFP

CHELSEA RATINGS: Edouard Mendy - 6, Didn’t have a chance of saving either of Wolves’ goals and didn’t have too much else to do. AFP

Reece James - 6, Showed some good quality when delivering the ball into the box, even if none of those crosses lead to a goal. AP

Kurt Zouma - 5, Should have ensured Neto had less space when the Portuguese winner scored the winner, having looked comfortable for most of the game. AFP

Thiago Silva - 6, Looked in complete control in most situations, displaying his experience. EPA

Ben Chilwell - 7, Did well bombing down the left wing and got his assist for the opening goal of the game. AFP

Kai Havertz - 4, Needs to think so much quicker when he’s on the ball than was the case in this match. AFP

N’Golo Kante - 6, Showed his brilliant awareness in the first half but seemed to fade a bit during the second half. Was booked for a foul on Kante. AP

Mason Mount - 6, Linked up with his teammates well but couldn’t quite create an opening for himself. Booked for a foul on Otasowie. AP

Christian Pulisic - 6, Was the main man injecting pace into the game in the first half but had nowhere near the same impact in the second. PA

Olivier Giroud - 7, Reacted superbly to convert Chilwell’s cross and score the opening goal of the game. AFP

Timo Werner - 5, The German’s general play was fairly good but he lacked any sort of clinical edge. AFP

SUBS Mateo Kovacic (Havertz 71’) – N/R, Tried to make things happen but couldn’t quite make the difference for Frank Lampard’s side. Reuters

Tammy Abraham (Giroud 71’) – N/R, Struggled to get the better of Wolves’ defence. PA

Pedro Neto's dramatic injury-time winner stunned Chelsea as they lost 2-1 at Wolves to miss the chance to go top of the Premier League.

Daniel Podence cancelled out Olivier Giroud's opener before Neto hit Chelsea on the break at the death to complete Wolves' comeback.

Victory would have taken Chelsea top but they slipped to a second-straight defeat following Saturday's 1-0 loss at Everton.

Wolves also had a penalty overturned after referee Stuart Attwell initially awarded a late spot-kick for Reece James' foul on Neto, while Kurt Zouma hit the crossbar for the visitors in the first half.
