It wouldn't be a surprise if he had trouble sleeping last night after being denied the chance to write his name in the history books.

Luiz Felipe Scolari was already staring into the abyss with his side trailing 1-0 in the first half and his heart rate would have increased rapidly as Southend launched another daring raid just before the break.

His side had already proved their ineptitude at defending set pieces yet again to go behind in the first place but on this occasion Revell looked to have got the better of them in open play. A superb cross by Osei Sankofa had John Terry and Alex completely caught out and it seemed certain the 25-year-old forward would head home.

But he sent the ball straight at keeper Petr Cech, who would argue he was in the right place at the right time to pull off a great save. However, he shouldn't have been given an opportunity to stop it.

Just four minutes later, Chelsea equalised and they stepped up a gear after the break.
