Terry: Anfield defeat a ‘kick up the backside’

CHELSEA captain John Terry believes the defeat at Liverpool was a “kick up the backside” the team needed.

Two superbly-taken goals by Fernando Torres inflicted only the Blues’ second Barclays Premier League defeat of the season on Sunday, preventing them restoring their five-point advantage at the top of the table.

The visitors were left reeling by Liverpool’s first-half display and even though they had the better of things after the interval there was no way back for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
