The Chelsea skipper was the hero netting the injury-time winner as the Blues stayed right in the thick of the Premier League title race
Jose Mourinho was delighted to take three crucial points from a "very difficult" clash with Everton.
Skipper John Terry was the hero netting the injury time winner to keep Chelsea right in the thick of the Premier League title race.
Honours were even for long periods, so the Portuguese was extremely pleased to do enough to grab the win at the death.
"It was a very difficult match. In periods one team was dominant and the other had to play well defensively to cope," he said.
"It's a good feeling to win in the end. The players did everything, they wanted to win.
"For 20 minutes we were in control, after that Everton were in control. They pass the ball well.
"For the last 15 minutes we were strong and dominated. When you score [late] you can talk about luck but the boys chased that."
Despite the contest being a cagey affair Mourinho felt his side did just about edge the game to stay in the hunt at the top of the table.
"A point for them is a good point. A point for us is not good, and in the end maybe we deserved it," he added.
"If today we had a draw, I think in a couple of hours we would be third in the table. This is the reality in this competition.
"The feeling when you lose late points is bad. When you win it's the opposite. It's a compensation of the points against West Brom."
