John Terry fired a ruthless nine-word comeback at Tottenham star James Maddison after the pair locked horns on social media in the wake of Chelsea's 4-1 triumph over Spurs on Monday night.<br /><br />Maddison, who limped off injured during his side's disappointing defeat, commented on Terry's Instagram post which showed the former Chelsea captain jubilantly celebrating his old side's victory.<br /><br />The ex-England international initially took to social media following the defeat to mock Tottenham after both Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie were sent off for reckless challenges.<br /><br />He shared several pictures of himself dancing on the bar with his wife Toni and wrote the accompanying caption: '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.'<br /><br />Maddison was quick to respond to Terry saying: 'Jesus, u have ur eyes closed when it was 11 v 11 first 15 JT?.'<br /><br />Terry replied with three laughing face emojis and the words: 'Madders, don’t worry mate you will get used to it' - implying Chelsea will continue to beat Tottenham in future London derbies. <br /><br />Chelsea have struggled to replicate the success they enjoyed during Terry's career in recent seasons, falling off the pace since the arrival of American owner Todd Boehly.<br /><br />Despite splashing the cash on a glut of new talents, the Blues finished 12th in the Premier League last campaign, four places and 16 points behind Tottenham.<br /><br />And heading into Monday's enthralling clash in north London, Spurs were basking in a rich vein of form, having enjoyed an undefeated start to the campaign under Ange Postecoglou. Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino's side had lost four out of 10 matches.<br /><br />Chelsea fans, including Terry, will hope the Blues' 4-1 win demonstrates there are better things to come at Stamford Bridge between now and the end of the season.
