(Chelsea FC/Press Association) The Nigeria international almost got the winner with a 20- yard shot which missed narrowly and Hiddink said Mikel brought them the need balance in the game.
"I liked our intensity but we also have to look for a balance in the team. It’s a very attacking-orientated team,” Hiddink told the Chelsea website.
"When we have a midfield with all creative players it’s beautiful but sometimes you need a balance and I thought John Obi gave us that balance.
“When you have the creative players such as Matic, Oscar, Willian coming inside and Cesc as well, sometimes you have to choose in a different way."
