David Moyes was delighted with his players after Everton drew 0-0 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.[LNB] Didier Drogba hit the crossbar in injury time for Chelsea but it was Everton who had the better chances in the game, with Leighton Baines having a penalty shout turned down after appearing to be caught by Alex in the first period.[LNB]The result will give Moyes' side every confidence as they prepare to take on the Blues again in the FA Cup final on 30th May.[LNB]Moyes told Sky Sports: "I was really pleased - I thought they played terrifically well. After the opening 15, 20 minutes we showed a bit of tiredness but I thought we got stronger as the game went on, passed it well, made a few chances so really pleased with the work they put in tonight."[LNB]He believed Chelsea had made it tough for his side in the second period but said the Toffees had chances in the game.[LNB]Opportunities"We carved out one or two opportunities which maybe on another day you score but as I said you are playing against a good side and it is always going to be tough."[LNB]He believed it was a good shout for the penalty but praised the referee's performance overall, adding Chelsea have got a lot of big games coming up.[LNB]"So maybe tonight they had their eye off the ball a little bit, but our players didn't - we were terrific tonight in as much as picking ourselves up after 120 minutes against Man United and then coming here and doing it against Chelsea.[LNB]"So we have come a long way and the players deserve a lot of credit for it."[LNB]
