John Terry's opening goal at Stamford Bridge marked the first time in eight seasons that the Chelsea skipper had scored in consecutive games.

Green's exploits were not enough to prevent the Hoops from falling to their eight successive away defeat from the start of the season - the first time that has happened since Bolton Wanderers in 1996-97.
