Chelsea vs Everton Highlights : FA Cup Final

Guus Hiddink was handed the FA Cup as a farewell present as Chelsea recovered from conceding the fastest goal in final history to beat Everton 2-1.

The contest was less than half a minute old when Louis Saha found the back of the net for the Merseysiders.

It was to be a high point for Everton though as Didier Drogba equalised before Frank Lampard’s 20-yard strike just evaded the despairing dive of Tim Howard 18 minutes from time.

Apart from allowing Ashley Cole to become the first player since the 19th century to collect five winners’ medals, the victory, Chelsea’s second in three years at the new Wembley, is a clear indiactor of the stability Hiddink has brought to Stamford Bridge since replacing the hapless Luiz Felipe Scolari in February.

Sunderland vs Chelsea Highlights: EPL Highlights

Sunderland survived a nervy final afternoon of the Premier League season and will be the north-east’s only representatives in the top flight next season despite losing 3-2 to Chelsea.

While rivals Newcastle and Middlesbrough were experiencing the trauma of relegation, Sunderland were succumbing to defeat in Guus Hiddink’s final match as manager.

But results elsewhere meant it was not a costly loss, and events elsewhere ensured these two sides will meet again next term.

Substitute Salomon Kalou and England defender Ashley Cole struck inside the final 16 minutes to ensure the three points left Wearside with the visitors, despite Kenwyne Jones’ last minute header.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Highlights : EPL Highlights

Chelsea did their talking on the pitch on Sunday with a omprehensive 4-1 win at Emirates Stadium securing at least third place in the table and ending Arsenal’s 21-match Premier League unbeaten run.

UEFA have yet to rule on the unacceptable over-reaction from several of the Chelsea players - most notably a foul-mouthed barrage by striker Didier Drogba - following their controversial midweek exit in the Champions League to a late Barcelona away goal.

However, there were no such flash points in this game as all of Guus Hiddink’s men kept their composure to mount early pressure on the home side before killing the game off with two clinical strikes.

Chelsea vs Barcelona Highlights: UEFA Champions League Semi-Final Highlights

Ten-man Barcelona denied Chelsea of a place in the Champions League final in the cruelest of fashions with a 93rd-minute away goal at Stamford Bridge.

A stunning first-half volley from Michael Essien looked to have earned Chelsea victory and set up a repeat of last year’s Champions League final against Manchester United, where they could seek their revenge.

But Andres Iniesta beat Petr Cech in the third minute of added time to send the Spanish bench and their fans delirious and leave Guus Hiddink heartbroken.

At the final whistle, Chelsea’s players gathered around referee Tom Ovrebo, who had waved away at least four penalty appeals during the game.

The scenes descended into anger when Drogba came out of the tunnel to confront the Norwegian official and was shown a yellow card.

Ovrebo had a poor game and was marshaled down to the tunnel by Chelsea stewards as Drogba continued to complain about his performance.
