CHELSEA captain John Terry vowed that Chelsea will soon be back to their best after their dramatic 1-1 draw at Tottenham.
After Roman Pavlyuchenko had put Spurs ahead at White Hart Lane, Didier Drogba levelled for the reigning champions when Heurelho Gomes failed to hold his drive.
The Ivorian then had a chance to win it for Chelsea in stoppage time, but, after taking spot-kick duties ahead of Frank Lampard, hit a penalty straight at Gomes.
But Terry, back in the side after injury, feels that the out-of-form Blues proved that they will soon be back firing on all cylinders. “I thought we deserved to win the game, especially in the second half, we dominated,” he said.
“That’s more like the Chelsea we know.
“It wasn’t mentioned (who would take the penalty). Didier was brave enough to stand up and take it. You score some, you miss some.
“The hunger, the spirit, the determination; we pressed a lot better. The fans appreciate you can lose and draw, but when they don’t see the passion, that’s what hurts.
“We’re hopefully back now. We’ve got two huge games now. We’ve got Man United at the Bridge and then we go to the Emirates (to play Arsenal).
“I’ve never doubted my players, the manager or the football club. We won the double last year, let’s not forget that.”
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp admitted that a draw was a fair result.
“They pressed us in the second half, their mindset was to come on to us and we took a backwards step,” he said. I told them we had to keep being positive but credit to Chelsea, they’re champions and they don’t give up.”
