John Terry hails Chelsea win

Terry lifted the EPL trophy after his side's final day romp at Stamford Bridge ensured they finished the season one point ahead of United and ended their rivals' three-year reign as champions.

It was a cathartic moment for Terry personally after a turbulent year marred by allegations of an affair with the former partner of England teammate Wayne Bridge, which prompted Fabio Capello to strip the Chelsea defender of the international captaincy. But the Blues skipper insisted he took more pleasure helping Chelsea return to the English summit.

"It's about Chelsea Football Club and our day. It's been a hard three years, not winning the Premier League, but we've done it today and we deserved it. It's been inside of me for three years, seeing Man United lift it season after season and every single one of us has sat there and watched it. And now it's their turn to sit there and watch us."

Chelsea's title glory was also a validation of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, who in his very first season at the club, succeeded where his predecessors Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Guus Hiddink failed.
