Chelsea skipper Terry hails Courtois performance in Paris

Chelsea captain John Terry hailed the performance of Thibaut Courtois after their 1-1 draw at Champions League opponents PSG.

The Blues earned the first-leg result after Branislav Ivanovic's header was canceled out by PSG striker Edinson Cavani.

Courtois was particularly impressive for Chelsea, making a string of fine saves after coming in for Petr Cech.

"He was different class," Terry added. "When you look at Petr in the week, he made two great saves from (Everton's Romelu) Lukaku to win us three points.

"Thibaut came back in today. The competition is great and it is fierce amongst the squad. That's what is needed. We are all playing a team game."
