John Terry snatched a last-gasp Chelsea equaliser eight minutes into stoppage-time to rescue a dramatic 3-3 draw against Everton at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Chelsea's month-long unbeaten run under interim manager Guus Hiddink appeared to be at an end when Ramiro Funes Mori put Everton 3-2 ahead in the 90th minute. But Blues captain Terry, who earlier scored an own goal to give Everton their opener, had the last word with a back-flicked finish worthy of a top striker, although there was controversy over the effort as the centre-back appeared to be in an offside position.
That late intervention capped a spirited, if error-strewn display, from Chelsea, who had fallen two goals behind after Kevin Mirallas added to Terry's own goal. A terrible defensive mix-up allowed Diego Costa to pull one back and Chelsea were level seconds later when a deflected Cesc Fabregas effort found the net, setting the stage for the memorable finale. Hiddink had warned beforehand that Chelsea cannot regard themselves as immune from the prospect of relegation so long as they fail to record victories.
