Chelsea Skipper Terry Nicks Victory Over Roma

Terry`s goal 13 minutes from time came from a near post header from a driven corner on the left by his England team mate Frank Lampard.

Chelsea skipper John Terry grabbed a 77th minute winner to put the Londoners three points clear in the Champions League Group A after a hard fought 1-0 victory over AS Roma at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

The Blues boss Luis Felipe Scolari said beforehand he would be happy for his team to "win ugly" if necessary and that proved the recipe for his team as the Italians defended in numbers and restricted the home side to few chances.

Terry's goal 13 minutes from time came from a near post header from a driven corner on the left by his England team mate Frank Lampard.

Otherwise, neither side were able to carve out many clear-cut chances but CFR Cluj's defeat in Bordeaux leaves Scolari's side looking well set for progression from the group on seven points from three games.
