Chelsea boss Scolari: Only in England could Terry face Man Utd

Chelsea boss Luiz Felipe Scolari is delighted to have John Terry available for Sunday's big game against Manchester United.

Terry won his appeal against being sent-off yesterday and Scolari said: "I am satisfied because it is the first time I am a coach when they changed the decision of the referee.

"I think only in England this would happen. In other countries the referee is the God.

"This time the referee said he made a mistake. For me it is a surprise, a positive surprise.

"The Football Association understand that the referee makes mistakes sometimes like you and me."
