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 told Sky Sports 1. "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 felt 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 on Sky Sports. "I told them we had to keep being positive but credit to Chelsea, they're champions and they don't give up. "Gomes has done great for us and it was a great save. "It was a good, open game. They attacked us and we attacked them. It was an open game. "It says that we're as good a side as almost anybody. We'll only get stronger." Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti revealed that England midfielder Lampard was unable to take the penalty as a result of his recent injury troubles. "Frank Lampard was not able to shoot because he was not able to train," the Italian said. "Didier missed a penalty but he had a good performance and scored a good goal. It was very important to win, we deserved to win, but we didn't. I think we are on the right way. This game shows we are on our way back. "We played well, started well. When we were down we didn't lose composure or control. "We deserved to win. We were very close, we will win our next game."
