John Terry retains one more goal for the season

John Terry has played every minute of Chelsea’s Premier League title-winning campaign and will ask Jose Mourinho to continue in the last two games of the season in a bid to beat his personal goalscoring record.

Terry scored his fifth Premier League goal of the season and 39th in all — surpassing David Unsworth’s record for a defender — in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool, which all but ended the Reds’ hopes of Champions League qualification.

The 34-year-old Blues skipper has equalled his best goals haul for a season of eight and wants to play at West Brom on May 18 and at home to Sunderland on May 24 in a bid for his ninth.
