Chelsea were denied a penalty - Terry


John Terry says Chelsea should have been awarded a
spot-kick in their stalemate with Dynamo Kiev and
believes they did enough to earn a win.

John Terry feels Chelsea should have been awarded a penalty
in the 0-0 Champions League draw with Dynamo Kiev on
Tuesday.

Cesc Fabregas was seemingly brought down by Dynamo
defender Sergiy Rybalka inside the area during the opening 45
minutes at the Olympic Stadium, but referee Damir Skomina
opted not to blow his whistle.

"We kept a clean sheet which is a positive and it is not a bad
result, but I think we deserved to win," Terry told the Chelsea
website.

"The first half was a lot better than the second. We created a few
chances, Willian's free-kick hit the bar, and there was the
penalty that for me maybe was one, that wasn't given.

"We were unlucky not to score and we are disappointed not to
win, even if they had a couple of half-chances as well. We came
here to win the game and there were some good performances."

The draw in Kiev, together with Porto's 2-0 win at home to
Maccabi Tel Aviv, leaves Chelsea third in Group G with four
points from three matches played.

Terry though is confident
they can progress to the knockout stages if they win their home
games.

"We move on and it is important now we go back to the Bridge
and we have to win our home games. Big Champions League
nights in front of our home support, under the floodlights, is
where we want to be so it is in our hands and we feel
comfortable with that.

"We are a great side and we will get there with the hunger and
the ambition that is in the squad. You don’t win trophies year
after year without that hunger in the belly. We are collectively
together, the players, the manager and the fans and we will be
alright."

Chelsea's next match in the Champions League is the return
fixture at home to Dynamo on November 4.
