John Terry headed a second-half equaliser to rescue a 1-1 draw for Chelsea at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday as the managerial battle between Jose Mourinho and his former apprentice Andre Villas- Boas ended in stalemate.
.
The hosts dominated the first half and took the lead when Gylfi Sigurdsson finished a flowing move, but. the halftime introduction of Juan Mata turned the game in Chelsea's favour.
.
Mata's curling free kick was headed in by Terry 20 minutes after the interval and Chelsea piled on the pressure until referee Mike Dean controversially sent off striker Fernando Torres with 10 minutes left.
.
Torres, who was booked earlier in the game for a needless trip on Jan Vertonghen was given a second yellow card after an innocuous aerial challenge with the same player.
.
Spurs remained two points clear of Chelsea. Arsenal play at Swansea City later after Manchester City visit Aston Villa and Manchester United host West Bromwich Albion.
The goal he scored came at the right time for his football club so he was indeed the saviour for the night.
It was a good goal by head on set pieces for Terry.
John Terry just love to score with his head.
Once more, good win for Chelsea!
