John Terry headed a last-gasp winner to give Chelsea FC a dramatic 3-2 victory over London rivals West Ham United FC in their FA Cup fourth-round replay at Upton Park on Wednesday.
Preston next
Extra-time beckoned when Terry, who was on West Ham's books as a youngster, rose highest to head home a corner that secured Claudio Ranieri's side a home tie against first division Preston North End FC in the fifth round.
Two for Defoe
Earlier, two razor-sharp finishes by Jermain Defoe had twice given West Ham the lead. But Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Mikael Forssell hit back each time, the latter after a defensive mistake by Scottish international Don Hutchison, to level for Chelsea before Terry settled a pulsating match at the death.
Sweet moment
For former England Under-21 captain Terry, who has had off-field problems this season, it was a sweet moment. "It's great, especially having been here [West Ham] as a kid," he said. "I managed to get in front of my man and head it in."
