Wolves captain Coady delighted to earn point at Chelsea

Wolves captain Conor Coady was delighted with his equaliser for their 2-2 draw at Chelsea.

The skipper was picked out in the opposition box by Chiquinho with virtually the last kick of the game to put the finishing touches on a comeback from two goals down at Stamford Bridge, but despite the emotion that came with the equalising goal, Coady was also left with a tinge of disappointment that his goal didn't count for all three points.

Coady said, “Incredible feeling, first and foremost. An incredible feeling to do it in front of our away end and an incredible feeling to equalise. I think to score any injury time goal to equalise or win a game, especially in a really tough game.

“It was hard work, but I actually feel we deserved more from the game. A point was the least we deserved and we've stopped that bit of a rot we've been in, we've done that and we want to move forward now.

“I went into the box, hoping Chiquinho would get it. I thought he was outstanding when he came on. He's a young lad who's learning every day and he took the game to Chelsea, he ran at them every single time he got the ball, and he always put a ball inside the box.

“I knew if it came to him that the ball would come in somehow, so it was just about being in the right place at the right time. But the ball was outstanding and all I had to do was put it in the back of the net because he put such a lovely ball in.

“It was a fantastic feeling, maybe a little bit of a feeling that we could've won it, but to equalise in the last minute is always a good feeling."
