The Blues were dealt a devastating 5-3 loss by Tottenham on Thursday evening and the club captain has laid down the gauntlet to his team-mates

John Terry has demanded a response from Chelsea after their 5-3 humbling at the hands of Tottenham on Thursday.

Jose Mourinho’s men saw their lead at the top of the Premier League wiped out by Manchester City as a result of the defeat at White Hart Lane.

Two goals from Harry Kane plus strikes from Danny Rose, Nacer Chadli and an Andros Townsend penalty earned Tottenham a 5-3 win, with Terry netting a late consolation for the visitors.

The Chelsea captain admitted their New Year’s Day performance was well below par and has vowed to lead by example as they look to respond in the coming weeks.

“We’re very disappointed to start the New Year with a defeat but we’ll move on from this,” Terry told the club’s official website.
