Terry goes from zero to hero in Chelsea draw

“It was over the 97th minute but they were celebrating in the corner their third goal and we said to the fourth official ‘you have to add one minute, something might happen, ‘ and it happened”.

Hiddink remains unbeaten in six matches since being appointed Chelsea caretaker boss for a second time and admitted his side benefited from good fortune.

The win lifted Bournemouth a place above Norwich into 15th – only a point behind Chelsea.

That prospect appears to depend on winning the Champions League this season, a scenario which appears even more far-fetched than when they did so in 2012.

Hiddink reacted by sending on attacking midfielder Oscar for the more defensive-minded Nemanja Matic but Everton’s second followed straight away.

Up until the 63rd minute, that is, when Chelsea launched a devastating two goals in two minutes comeback that had owner Roman Abramovich on his feet leading the applause that greeted it.

Romelu Lukaku, playing against his former club was a livewire and caused Terry and Kurt Zouma plenty of problems in the box.

“We hope Diego is coming out of the hospital in good health and we go on as we are doing now”.

The Toffees had raced into a 2-0 lead early in the second half after a Terry own goal and a Kevin Mirallas finish, but the Blues came storming back with Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas scoring in quick succession to set up a barnstorming finish.

It was all Everton, until calamity struck for the visitors.

Suddenly Chelsea had awoken from their slumber. Everton will feel hard done by the decision but they should have sealed the game when they were 2-0 ahead.

Both teams had chances to go in front: Costa missed with an air-shot from close range and Mirallas broke forward but was denied by Courtois racing off his line to make the clearance.

Loic Remy has only recently returned from a calf injury and isn’t 100% match fit yet while Radamel Falcao is out for the foreseeable future with a thigh problem that’s troubled him since October.

Ramiro Funes Mori of Everton celebrates with fans after scoring in the 90th minute to put his team 3-2 up on Saturday against Chelsea.

But Terry denied the Toffees a memorable win.

Tottenham’s 4-1 victory over Sunderland was important and one they deserved.

“I was thinking maybe four, five minutes (to go)”, Terry told Chelsea TV. Everton protested as fourth official Craig Pawson had signalled only seven minutes would be added.

Despite a less than ideal result, Leicester stay top until tomorrow at the least, when Arsenal travel to the Brittania.

Another break saw Aaron Lennon feed Baines out wide again, with the 30 year old finding Mirallas in the area with another centre.

The Algerian’s miscue was punished 15 minutes from time when Beninese substitute Gestede bundled his way past Robert Huth and beat Kasper Schmeichel with the aid of a deflection off Wes Morgan.
