'Both excellent' - John Terry names Chelsea duo that impressed against Man City

Chelsea legend John Terry named the two players that stood out for him in the draw with Manchester City.

The Blues recorded a 1-1 draw with the reigning Premier League champions at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday night. Raheem Sterling put Chelsea in front in the first half against his former club, as Mauricio Pochettino's side neared a surprise victory.

However, Rodri equalised for Man City in the closing stages of the contest to restrict Chelsea to just a single point from the game. Despite leaving Manchester without a win, the Blues will take plenty of confidence heading into next week's Carabao Cup final against Liverpool thanks to their performance.

Terry made more than 700 appearances for Chelsea across 17 years for the club. The former centre-back has now stepped into coaching and returned to Stamford Bridge last summer to take on a role with the club's academy set-up after leaving Leicester City.

After Chelsea's draw with Man City, Terry went on to name Malo Gusto and Axel Disasi as the two standout performers for the Blues. The 43-year-old went on to explain why he was impressed with the entire team during the game, in both attack and defence.

«Great performance,» wrote Terry on X, formerly known as Twitter. «We looked solid and posed a threat on the counter-attack.

»Disasi and Gusto both excellent. Brilliant from everyone."

Chelsea now stand in 10th place in the Premier League table after the draw at the Etihad. The Blues will not have a top-flight fixture for two weeks due to their Carabao Cup final clash against Liverpool next
