Chelsea vs Wolves head to head

In that last home defeat at Stamford Bridge in March 1979 a few weeks before we were relegated to the old Second Division, Tommy Langley opened the scoring but goals from John Richards and Bill Rafferty secured a 2-1 win for the visitors. Both teams were in the bottom three at the time.
