John Terry: We Can Match Anybody On Our Day

after Chelsea go level with Man Utd at the top of the table with a victory against the Red Devils at Stamford Bridge, 26th Apr. 2008

"We needed to win. I said in my programme notes that a win was an absolute must today," declared Terry after the game.

"We've got the win, with two great goals from Bally [Michael Ballack]."

"We got a free-kick from Didier [Drogba] on the edge of the half-way line. We should have killed the game and put it long as we did most of the game to Didier," said a rueful Terry. "We rushed the free-kick, which shouldn't be done. We should have killed it off then."

"I think you've seen today, clearly, it's in all our minds, we want to win the Premiership and take it away from Man United," he said.

"We've got the advantage today - we've beaten them at home - we've not lost at home in a long time.

"We've shown people today. All season long we've had to put up with 'Chelsea can't play as well as Man United or Arsenal', I think we showed people today we can match anybody on our day."
