Terry ensures Chelsea will keep the title pressure on for Liverpool
The 33-year old Chelsea defender believes he could once again be crowned with a 4th BPL medal.
"It feels like a bigger win because of the earlier result. We knew about it, and looking at Manchester City dropping points it is probably the one we wanted - even though Liverpool are flying. The manager said before the game, regardless of that result, if we don't our games then we will make it very easy for them, so it was important." stated Terry.
"We've won our game, and the pressure is still on the teams above and below us."
Recent defeats of Aston Villa and Crystal Palace have put themselves in a struggle to win the Premier League title. Heading into the 34th match day, they are just a couple of points away from league leaders Liverpool and would be 4 points away from being top if Manchester City wins both their upcoming matches in hand.
Chelsea didn't really started the match off as good as they used to. Mohamed Salah made a big mistake by missing six minutes in and Swansea nearly scored in the 13th minute when Petr Cech was forced to make a nice save on a header by Wilfried Bony. Despite the unfortunate incident, Chico Flores was sent off for getting a second yellow card in two minutes. Referee Phil Dowd hesitated to send off Flores, but was unable to avoid penalising him for a nasty move on Andre Schurrle.

Chelsea's Demba Ba's victory shot against Swansea seem to spark the team's spirit alive. It kept manager Jose Mourinho's team 3 points behind league leaders after Liverpool had beaten City.
