    This was a Chelsea team going for a quadruple at the time, a team that comfortably won the PL, a team that didn't lose another game at home all season in any comp. The best team in England, I would argue second only to Barcelona in world football at the time.

    This XI was beaten 0-3 in 15 mins:
    Cech
    Azpilicueta
    Cahill
    Zouma
    Christensen
    Fabregas
    Ramires
    Oscar
    Hazard
    Willian
    Drogba

    This was also a Jose Mourinho team. A manager who I believe has never conceded 4 goals at home or lost from a 2 goal lead in his entire career. If you were to name any team in the world that wouldn't have lost from that position it was Chelsea.

    It wasn't backs against the wall at all either, there was a 5/10 min period after our 3rd but they never really created that much. Indeed, the next best chance in the game was the Davies header, I still don't know how Cech kept it out - possibly the best save I've ever seen live. Would love to know the xG stats on the game as I bet we would've been ahead fairly comfortably.

    Will never forget that day

    I thought they were going to take us to the cleaners at first Drogba was running riot but our first goal changed the game it was all us after that

    I'm sure Salah was playing for them

    Salah, Mikel & Remy started the game, that team was the one which finished the game and lost 3 nil

    Salah got binned off after that loss.

    His last game for Chelsea.

    We proved beyond all reasonable doubt he had no future in football :joy::joy::joy:

    Also, they had a record of not being defeated at home for quite a number of games I believe. Not sure how many games it was- but it was not to be scoffed at.

    Watch the full match again. There is no point at all in the full match when we are truly backs to the wall. In fact we are the better team for most of the second half

    I was right behind the goal in the lower part of the second tier. When Andy Halliday hit that shot there was complete silence for a split second and I distinctly heard the ball hit the net before all hell broke loose. What a day.

    My mate has it on dvd. We watch at least once every three months and I've probably seen it 20 times

    Jon Stead was awesome that day. Watch the last goal, as he holds up the ball, he then puts back spin on it, so it does go to far ahead of yeates, brilliant

    It’s funny - when Yeates had the ball I was screaming at him to take it to the corner to waste time - That’s why I’m not a football manager haha
