John Terry scored his first Barclays Premier League goal of the season to help Chelsea beat Stoke 2-0 and restore their three-point lead.
The Blues’ captain put his side ahead in just the second minute with a powerful header from a corner, and Cesc Fabregas doubled the lead in the 78th to make sure Chelsea maintained a three-point gap ahead of Manchester City.
It was a physical game at the Britannia Stadium with Stoke’s Phil Bardsley lucky to escape with just a yellow card after a reckless challenge on Eden Hazard in the 20th minute.
With this defeat, Stoke are now 13th in the table after 17 games.
