“Seven minutes of injury time, the last action happens in 97 minutes 53 seconds and Terry is two yards offside”, Martinez told reporters.

“I certainly think so”, came the response from Terry after being asked if he could see himself playing on with the Blues for the 2017-18 campaign. We never accepted that and scoring the third goal for me is a victory.
‘Physically I’m feeling as good as I’ve ever felt.
Chelsea have gone seven games without a defeat across all competitions and there has been a significant improvement in their game especially offensively where they have started to score goals.
“I’m still in the right state of mind, I’m still hungry, and I want to be here”, he added. The visitors looked on course for their first Premier League win at Stamford Bridge for 22 years after Ramiro Funes Mori acrobatically put them ahead in the 90th minute but ultimately paid a heavy price for spending so long celebrating the goal with their fans in the corner.
Chelsea’s Interim Manager, Guus Hiddink, has suggested that John Terry’s 98th-minute equaliser against Everton should not have stood.
Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has set his surprise Premier League leaders the target of reaching 79 points this season after a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa.
“For me there’s not much [difference] between John in 2009 and now”.
“The aim and ambitions we had for fourth place, we had to make three points in each of these two home games”, said Hiddink, whose side had drawn 2-2 at home to West Bromwich Albion in their previous match.
Everton also scored in stoppage time themselves on that occasion. A lot of teams would have thrown the towel in, but the fight and the desire from the squad unbelievable to come back, and [we were] unlucky no to win the game I think.
“It’s heartbreaking for us, the referee was not up to it”, said Martinez.
He said: “Everyone can think whatever they want, but we are thinking we can get sucked into the top four positions – and we are allowed to think that way”.
Baines had also been instrumental in the first goal, Terry getting his feet into an terrible tangle while attempting to clear his cross.
“We played a real intensity at the Etihad on Wednesday and kept a clean sheet, creating a good threat”.
