Chelsea were in top form coming into the clash against Wolves and were looking to overtake Arsenal and Manchester United with a win on Sunday afternoon. Wolves have also registered some decent results so would have been looking to throw a spanner in the works at Stamford Bridge.
However, it was Chelsea who had the more convincing start at Stamford Bridge with Wolves managing to advance out of their own half just once in the first 10 minutes.
Chelsea enjoyed almost all of the possession during the first 20 minutes but were unable to register many dangerous efforts thanks to an airtight Wolves defence. The visitors didn't afford the likes of Hazard the chance to roam free and Chelsea grew frustrated and begun to display wild, ambitious efforts on goal.
The home side, joined by the crowd, shout for handball twice but neither occasions were convincing enough for referee Michael Oliver to intervene.
The rest of the first-half was a fine display of Chelsea playing the waiting game. Wolves continued to boast a near-faultless defence and Chelsea began to resort to wishful efforts to release their forwards.
A similar story for Wolves who couldn't threaten Kepa's goal at all as their clearest chance came with Diogo who advanced on goal but couldn't control the ball well enough, resulting in the ball popping up onto his own arm and Chelsea reclaiming possession.
The first-half was less than a favourable presentation of the Premier League as the teams sat in sixth and seventh in the league failed to register any forceful or exciting attacks on goal. Half-time came as a welcomed respite for all those involved, both playing and watching. Would the second-half be any different?
Wolves managed to turn the game on its head after 10 minutes of the second-half with the opening goal after a brilliant counter-attack. Chelsea were less than impressed after their first-half efforts were completely negated by Jimenez with Wolves' very first attempt on goal.
Immediately after the goal, Maurizio Sarri called on reinforcements in the form of Loftus-Cheek and Hudson-Odoi, hoping that their introduction would turn things around for Chelsea.
Chelsea were gifted a number of free-kicks and corners as Wolves were hell-bent on keeping the home side out of the 18-yard box. Wolves continued to display their impressive defensive abilities as Chelsea struggled to threaten for an equaliser.
The remainder of Sunday afternoon's clash played out similarly to the first-half - Chelsea relentlessly trying to find a way through Wolves' defence but the visitors did well to immobilise the likes of Hazard who, up until added time, had one of his most quiet games this season.
The Belgian finally found himself in some space and he really made Wolves pay for it with absolutely delicious shot from outside the box to claim the equaliser.
The final scoreline did not reflect the way the game played out given that Chelsea retained possession for the majority of Sunday afternoon's encounter. Wolves only needed one opportunity to stick the knife in and a frustrated Chelsea had seemed unable to respond.
One might say that Chelsea deserved all three points for their unrelenting attempts to break Wolves' defence but they come away with one after a last minute banger from Hazard.
