After Chelsea defeated Tottenham 4-1 in the Premier League on Monday, Chelsea icon John Terry couldn’t help but make a few jabs.
In a thrilling match on Monday between Tottenham and Chelsea that saw five goals disallowed and two red cards, the Blues defeated the Spurs nine men 4-1 in the end. After the game, an old adversary put further agony on the north Londoners, compounding the already difficult night for Spurs and Maddison, who left the game early due to injury.
“When Chelsea beat Spurs 4-1 on a school night and the tequila comes out, and you end up dancing and singing on the bar,” wrote a triumphant Terry on social media with a video showing how how he’d been celebrating with wife Toni.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Maddison couldn’t help but reply to the Chelsea legend and leapt to the defence of his side, who started strongly and scored the opening goal after just six minutes: “Jesus, you have your eyes closed when it was 11 vs 11 (in the) first 15 (minutes) JT?” However, his reply only encouraged Terry further. “Don’t worry mate you will get used to it,” he added in an apparent nod to Chelsea’s superior record against Spurs in the Premier League.
WHAT NEXT? Tottenham are back in action on Saturday in the Premier League against Wolves. Chelsea, meanwhile, will face Manchester City on Sunday at Stamford Bridge
