Defiant words, likewise, at that place (2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

so there

'defiant words' is the definition.
(words said in defiance or stubbornness)

'likewise at that place' is the wordplay.
'likewise' becomes 'so' (synonyms).
'at that place' becomes 'there' (synonyms).
'so'+'there'='SO THERE'

(Other definitions for so there that I've seen before include "Defiant words" , "Derisive expression" , "That will teach you!" , "What are you going to do about that" , "Defiant statement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
