“We showed great spirit. We fought back from one goal down to a 2-1 win,” said the Blues skipper.

"We've been a bit low recently with the change but we had to deal with that as a group of players. We've dealt with that okay and hopefully this is going to give everyone a lift at Chelsea."

Chelsea won their first game under the commands of new manager Avram Grant who took over after Mourinho.

The victory lifts the Londoners to the top of the group with 4 points.

Terry also revealed that this win is only the start and that his side is going to get back to winning days. "I really believed in ourselves and that we could do it, it was just a case of when was it going to happen.”
