Chelsea skipper John Terry has made his 400th Premier League appearance during his side's 3-1 win over Southampton at home in Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Chelsea had moved up a place on goal difference before kick-off, following Liverpool's defeat at Hull earlier in the day, and following their Sunday win, they have attained the second place in the table below leaders Arsenal.

According to the BBC, despite Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez opening the scoring for the visitors within seconds of the start, however, Chelsea quickly took control of the game in the second-half through headers from Gary Cahill and Terry.

The report mentioned that half-time substitute Demba Ba sealed victory in the final minute, sliding the ball home from close range after a Ramires cross.

 

Terry is now fourth in Chelsea's list of all-time appearance makers, with 593, one ahead of former footballer John Hollins, while Terry's teammate Frank Lampard is third with 627, the report added.
