Chelsea captain John Terry believes the team is now getting back to their absolute best form.

The Blues extended their unbeaten run to four matches courtesy of a convincing 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

Goals from Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa allowed Guus Hiddink's side to record their second win in their past four outings, indicating to Terry that perhaps their title-winning form of last season is slowly being rediscovered.

"That was the Chelsea of last year. The football was first-class in tough conditions; windy, rainy," he told Sky Sports.

"New year, new start. We need to keep winning games because we've been drawing too many of late. But three points today feels good.

"We've known as a group we've had to get there and slowly we have. We hope we're there now.

"Overall I thought, as well as the goals, it was different class."
