TERRY CALLS FOR FOCUS
Chelsea celebrate at the Emirates.
Captain John Terry has called on Chelsea to remain focused as they bid to convert their excellent start to the season into an overdue Premier League title.
Didier Drogba's brace and a Thomas Vermaelen own goal saw the Blues win 3-0 to end Arsenal's 100% home record and sit five points clear at the top of the table.
Terry told Sky Sports 1: "We've been there before and thrown it away, so we need to regroup and stay together, but at the moment you can see people throwing their bodies in front of balls and everyone fighting for each other, which is great to see.
"We're playing really well, we have great confidence and great team spirit, and we need to continue this."
The Blues faced sustained pressure in the first half, but two goals in three minutes as the interval approached put them on the front foot and Drogba's late free-kick clinched an ultimately convincing win.
Terry continued: "We expected it, we watched a lot of videos on them and we all know they are probably the best at playing possession.
"We did our job and soaked it up and, going forward, I thought the midfield and attack were exceptional - Nico (Anelka) and Didier spreading wide and our midfielders getting through the middle of them caused them all sorts of problems."
