Chelsea 3 Everton 3: Roberto Martinez rages as John Terry's offside equaliser is allowed to stand

Roberto Martinez was seething after Everton were denied a first win at Chelsea in 21 years by a 98th-minute John Terry goal which even Guus Hiddink conceded should have been ruled out for offside.

Fallen Premier League champions Chelsea avoided another chastening defeat as Terry's flick earned a 3-3 draw which drew the ire of the Spaniard.

"The level of the refereeing is diabolical," Martinez told Setanta.

He added on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I don't think you can call it controversy. It's an incredible injustice, an incredible mistake."

Martinez's frustration was not just at the time added on when fourth official Craig Pawson had signalled for seven minutes' stoppage time. The Everton boss' anger was over Terry netting from an offside position.

And his comments may yet attract the attention of the Football Association's disciplinary chiefs.

"The fourth official made it clear it was time (up), before the ball was played into the box. It's not a debate," Martinez added in the post-match media conference.

"We had to play seven minutes of injury time and the last action happens at seven minutes and 51 seconds.

"That would be a debatable point - how long you want to play. But to have a player two yards offside in the box is unacceptable.

"John Terry with the final touch is two yards offside.

"There's no reason to get that decision wrong. It doesn't come down to the interpretation of the referee at all.

"The offside decision is as clear as you're going to see. It's a major error.

"It's not a decision which could be in the balance. That makes it difficult to take.

"It's a heartbreaking moment for us, because we deserved the three points.

"The refereeing today wasn't up to the level and that's very, very frustrating. It's cost us two points."

Martinez did not approach referee Mike Jones or his fellow officials afterwards.

"It's pointless," he said.

The lengthy celebrations following Ramiro Funes Mori's late goal might have contributed to the additional minute being added, with Everton believing they had secured a first league win at Stamford Bridge in 21 years after staving off a Chelsea fightback.

Then Terry struck with a deft flick on a 700th club appearance which included an earlier own goal.

Hiddink remains unbeaten in six matches since being appointed Chelsea caretaker boss for a second time and admitted his side benefited from good fortune.

"I can say now he (Martinez) is quite right," said Hiddink, who replaced Jose Mourinho.

"You have to be fair. Why should I deny it? I have seen it.

"Oscar touched the ball and, half a yard, John was offside even though he made a beautiful goal."

Terry's own goal and a Kevin Mirallas strike put Everton 2-0 up, but Chelsea scored twice in quick succession to restore parity.

A howler from Tim Howard allowed Diego Costa to net and Cesc Fabregas' deflected strike levelled matters.

Worse was to follow for Chelsea when Costa limped off and Funes Mori turned in fellow substitute Gerard Deulofeu's cross.

Costa immediately went to hospital for a scan on a shin injury.

Hiddink added: "He was in a lot of pain. He will have a scan. We don't know the result. I hope it's not bad."

The potential absence of Costa, including in next Sunday's match at Arsenal, could lead to Chelsea making moves in the transfer market.

But Hiddink would not be drawn on that prospect.

"For the moment we are doing nothing (in the transfer market)," Hiddink said.

"We hope Diego comes out the hospital in good health and we go on as we are doing."
