I missed it - at least Karl Henry didn't!
Wow! From all accounts quite a game for Wolves at Charlton this evening.
I wasn't there. This morning I ventured off for a week's holiday at a delightful little place called Praa Sands in Cornwall.
For the uninitiated, Praa Sands is right down on the South West coast, not far from Penzance, and whilst a quiet and relaxed place particularly at this time of year, does boast a cafe run by former Warwickshire and England bowler Chris Old.
Anyway, I digress.
Having endured some driving rain and buffeting winds I made it down for early afternoon before setting off on the real business of the day - trying to find a pub to watch this evening's game.
To cut the chase, I failed.
The only pub round here with any sort of satellite subscription was in nearby Porthleven, and of course it was showing Manchester United against Aston Villa.
So it was back to the holiday home to try and rig up an Internet connection to "Wolves World" to listen to the Beacon Radio commentary provided by messrs Bill Hatton and Robbie Dennison.
It dipped in and out - that wind and rain I presume - and after hearing news of Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's second goal,and Leroy Lita's injury time equaliser, the connection went all over the shop so it wasn't instantly clear that Karl Henry had actually popped up with an incredible winner.
But pop up he had, and back in the play-off zone Wolves are. (I had only written in today's Sports Argus about the recent spate of late goals involving Wolves but this game really takes the biscuit!)
More tough tests lie in store, but with six games to go the season remains very much alive and well.
It's difficult to make observations on a game you haven't seen - doesn't stop some callers to radio phone-ins mind you - but I'm delighted for Henry.
He's had some stick in recent weeks, and perhaps has had a dip in form compared to previous exploits, but is as honest and determined as the day is long and on his day a damned fine box-to-box midfielder.
And then there's Ebanks-Blake.
Already I have wondered whether he has yet received the plaudits his initial Wolves' impression deserves - well having heard about his brace tonight then surely he is very much on the cusp of something special.
Twenty-two Championship goals is impressive enough in anyone's language, and there are still six games - and possibly the play-offs - still to come.
I can only imagine what the mood must be like amongst those players and fans returning home this morning but what's clear is that Wolves have got themselves right back in the mix at a crucial time.
Now for that holiday....

Couldn't find a pub with the football on? Must be like Yam-Yam-hampton, not up with this electricity lark and satellite dishes eh?
I reckon you were too busy scoffing Cornish Pasties Berry!
Dancing round the front room when the winner went in.
Youve got to check SEB goals out pure class.
Hes fat, hes round
hes worth 10 million pound
Ebanks blake,Ebanks blake
One goal does not make Karl HEnry anythin better than the below par player he is.
What's the secret of a true cornish pastie? No carrots.
i think you should go on holiday more often berry
hope there was no speeding on the way there
Contact I had from Praa Sands indicated that the sun did not stop shining,I think you are making excuses!
