William Gallas and Ricardo Carvalho got on the scoresheet, but Cole’s goal was the pick of the bunch.
The ex-England international controlled Didier Drogba’s flick-on and twisted away from Ferdinand with a drag-back before firing high into the net.
Cole’s goal made Ferdinand and Co “dizzy”, said former team-mate and Chelsea captain Terry.
The iconic Blues defender said on Twitter: “Joe Cole what a goal, what a day, Making people dizzy.”

Another tweeted: “Joe Cole did Ferdinand dirty there.”

Chelsea take on Man Utd at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, and Blues fans will be hoping for more of the same.
Graham Potter’s side won’t have to worry about dealing with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 37-year-old, who played in the 2006 game, has been banished from the matchday squad after defying manager Erik ten Hag’s orders.
Ronaldo refused to come on as a late substitute in Wednesday’s 2-0 win over top-four rivals Tottenham.
A win for Chelsea would lift them level on points with Tottenham, while three points for United would leapfrog Saturday’s opponents.
