TEAMtalk<\/span><\/a> : \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Andre Villas-Boas felt Chelsea should have won at Tottenham on Thursday but could not fault the performance of his side in the 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n

Blues captain John Terry weathered an early Spurs onslaught and the loss of his central defensive partner – on top of the merciless taunts of the White Hart Lane crowd – to help his side secure a point in their final Premier League game before Christmas.<\/p>\n

Playing barely 24 hours after being charged with a racially aggravated public order offence over October’s altercation with QPR defender Anton Ferdinand, Terry turned in one of his most impressive performances of the season at White Hart Lane.<\/p>\n

Villas-Boas was glowing in his praise of his skipper’s resilience, but also took time to hail all his players.<\/p>\n

Only when the game was finished did Terry acknowledge his off-field travails by approaching the away supporters, tearing off his shirt and tossing it into the crowd for what was an early Christmas present for one of the fans who backed him throughout the game.<\/p>\n

They should also have been celebrating a victory, with the visitors wasting a glut of chances to claim all three points after falling behind inside eight minutes.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
