Chelsea secured a dramatic victory in the dying moments of their match against Everton on the 27th day of the Premier League.
Despite facing a resilient Everton side, Chelsea managed to snatch the win in injury time, thanks to two former Stanford Bridge players. A corner kick from Frank Lampard found John Terry, whose header, although not perfectly struck, found its way into the net, securing the victory for Jose Mourinho’s team.
The victory came as a relief for Chelsea, who had faced doubts following a draw against West Bromwich Albion and a cup defeat against Manchester City. Despite their best efforts, including attempts from Eden Hazard, Samuel Eto’o, Lampard, and Ramires, Chelsea struggled to find the back of the net until the dying moments of the game.
This win, their 18th in 27 matches, ensures Chelsea’s position at the top of the Premier League table, regardless of the results of Arsenal and Manchester City, with the latter having one game in hand. The victory provides a boost of confidence ahead of their upcoming Champions League fixture against Galatasaray.
