Cahill says Chelsea can be happy with Sunderland stalemate

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill insists they can be satisfied with their 0-0 draw at Sunderland.

The Blues emerged from their trip to Sunderland on Saturday evening with just a point from a hard-fought 0-0 draw, but remain clear at the top of the table.

Cahill told Chelsea TV: "I think we are a different side to last year, not just personnel, but mentally I think we are different.

"They made it a scrap, but we matched that and managed to play our football as well. When teams sit back and get back in that shape, it's very tough. We saw that last year and this was no different.

"But in these sorts of games, if you don't get the breakthrough, it's important we don't lose the game, and it's a point away from home."
