Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti feels the huddle at the end of the win over Fulham could prove to be a turning point for the season at Stamford Bridge.

Ancelotti's men came from a goal behind to win in their last game and turned half-time jeers into an end-of-year celebration, with Didier Drogba leading a team meeting on the pitch at the final whistle.

It was Drogba's final contribution before travelling to Angola for the African Nations Cup and his message was for the good work to continue while he is away.

They may have only taken nine points from 18 in December, but Chelsea still finished top of the Premier League heading into 2010.

"The huddle was an important moment for the team," Ancelotti said.

"It's the first time that they have done this.

"I don't know what they spoke about in that meeting but it was a very good thing to have.

"They showed that they are a very good team."
