Harry Redknapp admitted that a draw was a fair result after Tottenham shared the points with Chelsea at White Hart Lane.
Spurs took the lead against the reigning Premier league champions courtesy of a fine Roman Pavlyuchenko goal after just 15 minutes.
Heurelho Gomes then took centre stage in the second half with a mistake that allowed Didier Drogba to equalise with 20 minutes remaining.
The Brazilian goalkeeper also conceded a penalty in stoppage time but kept out Drogba's spot-kick to preserve a point for Tottenham.
Redknapp refused to criticise Gomes after the game but admitted it was disappointing not to come out on top after opening the scoring.
He believes his men were not as positive after the interval and accepts that Chelsea played well to draw level.
"They pressed us in the second half, their mindset was to come on to us and we took a backwards step," Redknapp told Sky Sports.
"I told them we had to keep being positive but credit to Chelsea, they're champions and they don't give up.
"Gomes has done great for us and it was a great save.
"It was a good, open game. They attacked us and we attacked them. It was an open game.
"It says that we're as good a side as almost anybody. We'll only get stronger."
