Chelsea's Terry becomes joint top-scoring defender in Premier League history

Chelsea skipper John Terry has become the joint-highest goal-scoring defender in the history of the Premier League.

The former England international found the net against Leicester City when scoring the second goal for the Blues on 79 minutes in the 3-1 win at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday night.

The 34-year old centre-back finished from close range with a scuffed effort to beat Kasper Schmeichel for the 38th league goal of his career.

The goal moved Terry, who has scored in each of the last 15 seasons in the Premier League, level with former Everton defender David Unsworth.
