Conor Coady struck deep into time added on to snatch a 2-2 draw for Wolverhampton Wanderers away at Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, as the Londoners’ prospective new owners looked on from the Stamford Bridge stands.

Coady headed home a cross from substitute Chiquinho in the 97th minute — almost the last action of the game –after Francisco Trincao had pulled a goal back following Romelu Lukaku’s double strike for Chelsea.

Todd Boehly, the man heading the consortium that has agreed terms to take over the club in a 4.25 billion pounds ($5.24 billion) deal, looked crestfallen after cheering Chelsea’s goals enthusiastically.

The London side have won only twice in their last seven league games and have been struggling defensively as they seek to cling on to a Champions League spot with three games to go.

“Of course the taste of the game is bad,” Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta told Sky Sports.

“We are conceding too many goals in the last couple of games which is putting us in a difficult position in the race for the Champions League.”

Wolves, sensing vulnerability at the back, always looked dangerous on the break but suffered a double blow when out-of-form striker Lukaku scored twice in two second-half minutes.
