John Terry Reacts to Chelsea’s 4-3 Thriller Over Spurs with Classic Instagram Jibe
John Terry wasted no time celebrating Chelsea’s thrilling 4-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, taking to Instagram to revel in the win and deliver a classic dig at his former rivals.
Known for his longstanding rivalry with Spurs, the Chelsea legend couldn’t resist poking fun after a pulsating game that saw the Blues close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to just four points.
Terry’s Instagram Post
In his Instagram story, Terry shared an image of Cole Palmer preparing to take his second penalty — an audacious Panenka that stunned fans and pundits alike. His caption read:
“Get in. Get the tequila out. It’s happened again.”
This cheeky nod to Tottenham’s repeated disappointments against Chelsea echoes a similar post Terry made in May 2024 after another Chelsea win over Spurs.
A Rivalry Rekindled
Terry’s disdain for Tottenham has been well-documented throughout his career:
- October 2023: When Spurs were tipped as potential title contenders, Terry emphatically responded to a tweet with “NO!”
- Career Record vs. Spurs: As a player, Terry faced Tottenham 32 times, winning 17 games, drawing nine, and losing just six. He also contributed three goals and two assists in those encounters.
His Instagram antics continue to fuel the banter between Chelsea and Spurs fans, solidifying his role as a club legend who embodies the rivalry.

Chelsea’s Resilience
While Terry focused on the rivalry, the game itself showcased Chelsea’s grit. Despite defensive lapses from Marc Cucurella leading to Spurs’ early goals, the Blues fought back with standout performances from:
- Cole Palmer: Scored two penalties, including the Panenka that grabbed headlines.
- Jadon Sancho: Scored Chelsea’s first goal to kickstart the comeback.
- Enzo Fernandez: Netted the decisive goal with a stunning volley.
Looking Ahead
Terry’s playful jabs aside, Chelsea’s win highlights their growing momentum under Enzo Maresca.
With players like Palmer and Sancho stepping up and the team showing resilience in tough situations, the Blues are emerging as serious title challengers. Fans will be hoping for more moments of brilliance — and more Terry Instagram posts — as the season progresses.
