Steven Taylor: "It was an unbelievable feeling to be back playing after 10 months.
"The nerves were kicking in before the game – it was a massive game for us – but once I was out there and warming up, the nerves went.
"When the whistle went, I was straight back into it. I won my first header against (Didier) Drogba, and felt good.
"We could have won the game, but in many ways, it couldn't have gone better. We came through it with no injuries, and got a great point. The lads were fantastic.
"We were unlucky not to score a second goal. We had chances, and they had chances.
"I thought we started well. They didn't expect us to start at the tempo we did, we were right in their faces. Maybe they expected us to sit back and defend, but that wasn't happening.
"We rattled them. We pressed in midfield, and forced errors from their back four.
"We came out for the second half, and were on top. The end of the game was a bit open, and Nile (Ranger) came on and had a couple of chances."
