Bellamy aims dig at Terry

Craig Bellamy hit out at John Terry after Manchester City's 4-2 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The build-up to the Premier League game had been dominated by the first on-field meeting between Terry and Wayne Bridge following the Chelsea captain's alleged affair with the mother of Bridge's young son.

Bridge pointedly refusing to shake Terry's hand before the match but enjoyed his afternoon as two goals each from Carlos Tevez and Bellamy secured a shock win for City as the home side had Juliano Belletti and Michael Ballack sent off.

Bellamy told Sky Sports: "You guys (the media) make a lot more of it you know.

"I know what JT is like and nothing surprises me about it, so I'm not going to comment on that. I think everybody in football knows what the guy is like, but that's off the field.

"On it he's an outstanding player. He's a great captain for Chelsea. It's always going to be difficult when you play him and his team."

The Wales striker admitted the result was a big boost for City's hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League

He said: "Today was a big, big result for us because we have come away from the last month, we haven't been playing particularly well and it showed in the first half when we got going with the counter-attack with Carlos up there, especially on his own, which was difficult.

"I thought we got closer to him in the second half and we've got players that can score goals."
