Chelsea skipper Terry hails star keeper pair

Chelsea captain John Terry has hailed the quality of their two goalkeepers.

Thibaut Courtois was outstanding for their 1-1 draw at Champions League opponents PSG. He stepped in on the night for Petr Cech.

Terry said: "It's unlucky for Petr because he made two unbelievable saves against Everton. I have seen a lot of players throw their toys out of the pram but Petr has been different class for the team, which has been important for the squad.

"Credit to him, he's not even rumbled or sent shockwaves through the dressing room.

"The manager stresses the importance of the team coming first and he's done that, Thibaut too.

"They're both there for the whole squad. They have both been excellent."

The Blues skipper added: "We have the two best keepers in the world in my opinion both fighting for one place - it's difficult.

"You can't keep them both happy. The manager manages to do it, I don't know how.

"They want to play all the time but the two of them are at the top of their game. So rotating them at certain times and picking them is tough."
