Chelsea skipper John Terry believes their 1-0 victory over Norwich could prove to be the result that sparks their season into life.

Diego Costa scored as the Blues claimed only their fourth victory from 13 Premier League games this season.

Terry feels their performances have merited a greater points haul than they have achieved but is hopeful they can continue to improve after leapfrogging Norwich to go up to 15th position.

"Anyone who has been to the games and watched the last five or six has seen the performances have been there," Terry told Chelsea TV.

"We'll certainly take the 1-0 and we have something to build upon now. Hopefully we can put ourselves on a good run of games now and climb up this table."

Chelsea face Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel on Tuesday and can qualify for the Champions League knockout stages with a victory, if Porto beat Dynamo Kiev.
