John Terry helped ease the disappointment for Scunthorpe when he invited their players into the Chelsea dressing room after their FA Cup tie.

Terry was an unused substitute as the Premier League champions beat their League One opponents 2-0 to reach the fourth round.

Diego Costa and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were on target but Scunthorpe were furious about a penalty not given for a trip on Kevin van Veen by Ramires when the score was 1-0.

They were still contesting the decision with referee Craig Pawson at the final whistle and were seething when Terry went into the away team dressing room to offer the chance to join the Chelsea players for a chat and to have keepsakes signed.

They signed shirts and footballs for the Scunthorpe players before they left Stamford Bridge and returned to North Lincolnshire and their League One programme.

'They had a good celebration in our locker room, together with our players,' said interim boss Guus Hiddink.

'These are difficult games. It was their final. They made us shiver a bit. They wanted to exchange the shirts. It was a big day for them and for us, because we wanted to go into the next round.'
