'Double headlocked' John Terry complains about rough treatment at Old Trafford
Chelsea captain criticises Manchester United tactics during Sunday's 1-1 draw
Chelsea captain John Terry has said both he and team-mate Branislav Ivanovic were “double headlocked at every corner” during the Premier League leaders’ dramatic 1-1 draw away to Manchester United on Sunday.
Manchester remains the only location where Chelsea have dropped league points so far this season after they also drew with champions Manchester City,
And the London club were denied an eighth league win of the campaign on Sunday when Robin van Persie’s injury-time goal cancelled out Didier Drogba’s header at Old Trafford.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho made little secret of his unhappiness with referee Phil Dowd’s performance and Blues skipper Terry was even more explicit on Monday.
The visitors were convinced they should have been awarded a first-half penalty when Ivanovic went down in a challenge from United defender Chris Smalling, with Terry also hitting the deck just behind him as he was challenged by Marcos Rojo as a set-piece came into the box.
Van Persie’s equaliser came after Ivanovic had been shown a red card for two bookable offences but Terry said on Instagram that Chelsea had been hard done by.
“It shows how well we are playing when you come away from Old Trafford disappointed with one point,” Terry said.
