Chelsea captain John Terry praised his Chelsea teammates for their fighting spirit in the six goal thriller against Everton and went on to say that he don't care about if its a goal or not but it earned the club a valuable point
On whether his goal was offside, Terry told Reporters : "I'm not sure to be honest, I don't really care as it was my first this season. It's an important one as we're still undefeated since the manager Guus Hiddink has come in.
"To keep that little momentum, ideally we needed three points, we're not happy where we are in the league, we need to start winning games but every game's tough and every opposition seems to be stepping up their game."
Terry hailed his teammates for work ethic during the match, saying: "It was difficult especially after going 2-0 down. A lot of teams would have thrown the towel in, but the fight and the desire from the squad was unbelievable to come back, and we were unlucky no to win the game I think.
"Both teams were sussing each other out a little bit in the first half, then it opened up slightly with more goals and chances, but it was a tireless effort from the boys.
"I think all we can do at the moment is give everything and I think the fans appreciate that even at 2-0 down, with everyone on their feet singing and applauding the players.
It was different class from them, unbelievable desire from the players as well. As I said before, we want to get out of this position we're in -- we will do if we continue that fighting desire.".
The chelsea manager told BBC Sport: "There was seven minutes extra time... I said, 'Ref, OK, they are celebrating at least one minute in the corner.'
"I will not deny it -- Terry was offside because Oscar touched the ball, even though John was technically perfect with his finish. I took some risks at 2-0 down and it paid off in a spectacular way. The team is very resilient.
