Victory was taken away from us at Chelsea - Everton boss Martinez

Everton manager Roberto Martinez was left seething in anger following his side's 3-3 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The Toffees were cruelly denied a victory in West London as they conceded a controversial equaliser in the 98th minute through a John Terry strike.

Martinez was unsurprisingly left incensed that the goal was allowed to stand and has stated that victory was snatched away from his side's grasp.

Martinez said after the game: "We won the game. It's as simple as that.

"We were 3-2 when the clock showed 97 minutes and 50 seconds.

"We should have played 97 and then we concede a goal that shouldn't have been given. It was offside.

"Scoring three goals, it was a victory that unfortunately has been taken away from us."
