Manchester City's hopes of closing the gap on the Premier League pacesetters were frustrated as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to lowly West Bromwich Albion.
City took the lead on the half hour when Raheem Sterling did well to work his way to the byline and pull the ball back to Ilkay Gundogan, who expertly side-footed home.
But West Brom drew level two minutes before the break, when a shot on the turn from Semi Ajayi hit City defender Ruben Dias, and deflected past wrong-footed goalkeeper Ederson.
The hosts camped in West Brom's half throughout most of the second period, but Slaven Bilic's side showed tremendous determination and defensive solidity.
City had late chances though - Kevin De Bruyne went close with a free-kick that West Brom keeper Sam Johnstone did well to reach, while Sergio Aguero blasted wide from a good position.
Johnstone did well again in stoppage time to keep out a close-range Gundogan header and denied another great opportunity for Sterling, who headed straight at the keeper.
After 12 games Pep Guardiola's City are in sixth place, five points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, who both have 25 points and face each other at Anfield on Thursday morning (NZ time).
West Brom are second-bottom on seven points
Neto grabs late winner as Chelsea fall to Wolves
Wolverhampton Wanderers' Pedro Neto struck a stoppage-time winner as they came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1.
Frank Lampard's visiting side had the better of the first half at Molineux and centre-half Kurt Zouma powered a header against the bar just before the break.
In-form French forward Olivier Giroud then fired Chelsea ahead in the 49th minute, meeting a Ben Chilwell cross with a superb angled volley at the near post that goalkeeper Rui Patricio was unable to stop cross the line.
But Wolves drew level in the 66th minute when Daniel Podence cleverly created space for himself in the box, then drove a slightly deflected shot past keeper Edouard Mendy.
Wolves were then awarded a penalty, 10 minutes from the end, when Pedro Neto went down inside the box as he was approached by Reece James, but the decision was overturned after a VAR review showed there had been no contact.
But Portuguese forward Neto decided the encounter late in added time, when he finished off a counter-attack, running at Kurt Zouma before drilling the ball into the bottom corner.
Chelsea, who have now lost back-to-back games, remain fifth on 22 points from 13 games, three behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.
"At 1-0 we should see the game out," said Lampard.
"If you are not playing that well, which we weren't at that time, hang on to 1-0, don't allow counter-attacks.
"Performance is what gives you results. We were playing very well, a long unbeaten run and then maybe the lads think we are playing well and the minute you think you are playing well things like this can happen."
Wolves, who had lost their last two matches, move up to ninth place on 20 points.
