John Terry feels Chelsea fired out a warning to Manchester United when fighting back from a goal down to beat Tottenham 2-1.

Chelsea were somewhat fortunate to claim the spoils, as both their goals should not have stood - Frank Lampard's first did not cross the line and the winner from Salomon Kalou was offside. But the Blues were rewarded for their commitment to the cause and are now within three points of leaders United.

Sir Alex Ferguson, who was at Stamford Bridge but left before Chelsea grabbed the winner, will take his side to Arsenal on Sunday and Terry feels the gauntlet has been thrown down.

"We said a few weeks ago when we were nine, 12 points behind that the one thing about Chelsea is we never give up," Terry told Sky Sports. "That's what we're all about.

"Man United have said in the week that we're their biggest challengers and they've got a massive game that they must win to open up that gap again."

Commenting on his goal, Lampard said: "The one that didn't go over the line, I was due one of those - I had a big one [at the World Cup] in the summer! So I'm pleased with that. But it's unlucky on them.

"You get what you deserve and, that's not rubbing it in on Tottenham, we deserved that, we created enough, we were bright enough to win the game.

"We're fighting to the end. We had a couple of months where we let ourselves down a bit and let it slip, but you saw the character. We deserved it.

"They're in the driving seat and it's theirs to lose, but if they do slip up we're in a position now where we'll have a real go to try and do it. We've kept ourselves alive and we can sit back and watch and hope."
