Everton manager Roberto Martinez has revealed he and his players are furious after Chelsea’s late equaliser was allowed to stand at Stamford Bridge.

“Terry is offside when Branislav Ivanovic touches it and two yards offside when Oscar does”. “The first half was in the balance, very tactical, but in the second half the speed went up”.
John Terry scored a controversial 98th minute equalizer to earn Chelsea a point in a thriller against Everton.
Two minutes later Guus Hiddink’s side were level, Fabregas drilling in a shot that took a wicked deflection off Muhamed Besic and beyond a stranded Howard.
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.
Oviedo was then stretchered off after being caught by a nasty challenge from Kenedy, and he was followed down the tunnel by Costa, who limped out in the 79th minute with what looked like a hamstring or a groin injury. “We don’t know the result yet”, the Dutch manager began, as noted by the tabloid.
Martinez’s frustration was not just at the time added on when fourth official Craig Pawson had signalled for seven minutes’ stoppage time.
Chelsea were about to get the victor we thought.
The American soon went from hero to villain though as he raced off his line to try clear a long-ball from Fabregas but Costa beat him too it and tapped into the empty net to pull a goal back in the 64th minute.
“He’s in hospital and they will check with a scan”, Hiddink said. He was in a lot of pain’.
“We had to play seven minutes of injury time and the last action happens at seven minutes and 51 seconds”.
When you’re leading 2-0 at Chelsea, you control the game, you play very well, you have many occasions (and) the game finishes 3-3…
Willian had the best chance in the opening 45 minutes, forcing a save when Tim Howard came rushing out of Everton’s goal to deflect his effort away to safety. Why should I deny it?
“Getting to that point and showing that character, that incredible resilience to get that victor – that’s what we deserved, but it’s been taken away in an unfair manner”. We hope Diego will come out of the hospital in good health.
Having fought back from 2-0 down, Everton went 3-2 up in stoppage time.

And last season’s Premier League champions, six points above the relegation zone, still look in some disarray after their second home draw this week.
