Yesterday's 1-1 draw with Tottenham saw Juliano Belletti score his third Chelsea goal and his second against our north London rivals.

Playing in the holding midfield position for the first time since arriving at the club, Belletti smashed a Deco cross into the net from close range to give the Blues the lead.

But a freak incident involving Frank Lampard saw the ball fall into the path of Darren Bent, and the Spurs striker was able to slot a shot between Cech's legs only seconds before the break.

'We cannot lose points in our home,' explained Belletti.

'This is Stamford Bridge, and we need to win all the games here because we need to win the championship this year.

'But Tottenham played very well; I think it is the best game I have played against Tottenham since I started in the Premier League.

'They made us run a lot in this game and they fought a lot.

'But we have time to recover from that, we have quite a few days, we have worked a lot for this and we have a good team ethic, so we can recover. We need to win the next game.'

With his new holding role came Belletti's first start of the season, and, after 27 minutes, his first goal.

'This was a surprise for me, when I score goals it is not usually from so close but I just try to do my best in all the games, and against Tottenham this is the second goal I have scored.'

With one goal from one appearance so far, Belletti seems to have settled into his new role well, so does this mean we'll be seeing more goals from the Brazilian?

'I started football in this position. When I was in Brazil I played in this position and Scolari knows about this.

'I need some more games to do it better, but I enjoyed it against Tottenham.

'Although it is not usual that I score a lot of goals, but against Tottenham I have some luck.'

Apart from Tottenham's goal, Chelsea controlled the first half yesterday, with Nicolas Anelka and Michael Essien coming closest to increasing our score, but by the time referee Howard Webb had blown the full-time whistle, Tottenham were on the attack.

'We try our best all the time but in the second half Tottenham played better than us and we didn't score the second goal,' said Belletti.

'I have played a lot of derbies in Brazil and in Spain and it's different for the fans, they try and help the players a lot of the time because they know what these games mean.

'But in a lot of the games against Tottenham last year we were the same, we drew against them and we lost the Carling Cup, so this team is very difficult for us.

'But this is the past and we need to concentrate on the future because we need to have a good response.'
