Game of the Season




     I was at Chelsea's most recent game - a 3-3 draw at home to Everton and what a game it was. After a boring first half which ended 0-0, both teams sprung to life in the second half. Everton were 2-0 up just ten minutes into the second half, but Chelsea showed amazing character and motivation to get themselves back into the game. Two goals in three minutes made it 2-2. My seat in the Matthew Harding Stand meant that all the Chelsea goals were right in front of me. All the momentum was with us until Everton's Costa Rican right back Bryan Oviedo, went down injured for around six minutes. Reports suggest that Oviedo's injury was not as bad as he made it out to be and he did it to waste time and to stop Chelsea's momentum. After that it was anyone's game. There were chances at both ends, but it was Everton's substitute, Ramiro Funes Mori, from Argentina, who scored in the 90th minute! I was extremely disappointed and just wanted the game to end at that stage. Seven minutes were added on for the numerous stoppages, including Oviedo's injury. At this point Chelsea had everyone forward and were just lumping the ball forward and hoping for the best. I knew it was not going to be our day... With the added seven minutes up, Azpilcueta hit it up towards the Everton box, Zouma won the initial header, Ivanovic won the second and the Oscar who only stands 5'9" vitally flicked the ball on to the CAPTAIN JOHN TERRY WHO BACKHEELED THE BALL INTO THE GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! An unbelievable finish from a 35 year old centerback! The atmosphere was electric and Terry ensured that we remain unbeaten under Guus Hiddink.
     Skip to 6.13 in the linked video to see the best goal ever scored for Chelsea Football Club. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed as much as I did.
