Eden Hazard came to
Chelsea’s aide right off the bench with his last-minute goal placing the Blues
in the last 16 of the UEFA Europa league with a 2-1 aggregate win over Sparta
Prague.
Chelsea headed into
the game with their heads held high after their 1-0 win from last week’s first
leg match in Czech Republic; however, the story was a bit different today as
Sparta took the lead earlier in the game with David Lafata’s goal in the 17th
minute. After several failed attempts from the Blues, just when it looked as if
the game was heading to extra time, substitute Hazard came in and saved the day
with the last kick of two minutes stoppage time which leveled the score for the
Blues.
Following their performance, Chelsea’s Captain John Terry
admits that emotions ran high back in the dressing room as the night's draw
against Sparta Prague, which sets the Blues up for a last 16 tie with Steaua
Bucharest came by chance. Terry was not hesitant to voice his disappointment with
the team’s performance, speaking after the game he said-
'I was disappointed with the way we started but delighted to
go through,' the captain said. 'We left it as late as we could and sometimes
that's the best way but it wasn't our best performance. We're in the next round
though and we're happy with that.
Qualification was an absolute must. We're disappointed to be
out of the Champions League and watching it on Tuesday and Wednesday night was
enough motivation for us to kick on in this one, we're in it to win it and
nothing changes from that. After that we'd have a chance with the Super Cup, so
still some big competitions to play for.'
