On nights as dramatic as this, the temptation is to start with the match-winner and go from there. This is no exception. At the final whistle Chelsea’s manager Jose Mourinho marched across the turf to seek out Petr Cech and throw his arms tightly around the Chelsea goalkeeper in a bear hug. Mourinho knows. And so do we. Without Cech between the posts against Everton, who knows whether Willian would have gone on to score Chelsea’s corkscrew winner in the 89th minute. Willian is jubilant as he celebrates his late winner with substitute Didier Drogba, sending Stamford Bridge into pandemonium
