Ten-man Manchester City's slim title hopes suffered a devastating blow as Wolves hit back from two down to win 3-2 in an incident-packed encounter at Molineux.
The Citizens saw Ederson shown a straight red card on 12 minutes but stole in front when Raheem Sterling eventually tapped in the rebound from a twice-saved penalty after VAR had intervened to award the spot-kick - and then order a re-take for encroachment.
The drama completely consumed a stop-start first half and it wasn't until after Sterling had doubled City's lead following a sublime counter on 50 minutes that Wolves put Pep Guardiola's men under any real pressure.
Adama Traore rifled in a thumping 25-yard shot to reduce the arrears, and then set up Raul Jimenez to level eight minutes from time.
City were straining under the pressure and Matt Doherty completed the comeback with a low drive in the last minute to move Wolves up to fifth.
The away side's misery was complete when Sterling hit the bar with an injury-time free kick to leave them in third spot, 14 points adrift of Liverpool having played a game more.
Next up, Wolves visit Jurgen Klopp's league leaders on Sunday while City host Sheffield United.
