Thiago Silva wasn’t keen on being filmed after Chelsea nearly squandered their 3-0 lead against Luton Town. Despite securing a 3-2 victory at Kenilworth Road on Saturday (December 30), Chelsea struggled in the last 10 minutes, conceding two goals and making the finish tense.
This win marked a consecutive victory for Mauricio Pochettino’s team, offering a positive end to 2023, which has been a challenging year for the Premier League giants.
However, Silva, aged 39, seemed visibly disappointed with his team’s inability to maintain control during the game. He made efforts to direct a camera away from him after the match. Even after turning away, the camera continued focusing on Silva, prompting the center-back to mouth “Please” and gesture for them to leave.
Following the sharing of a clip of this encounter online, fans expressed their views on social media. One Chelsea supporter praised Silva’s actions, calling it “the mark of a true leader.” Another fan acknowledged Chelsea’s luck in securing all three points, particularly as Luton hit the woodwork twice in the last 15 minutes.
A different Twitter user commended Luton Town for their impressive performance despite their position in 18th place. Kenilworth Road has proven to be a challenging ground for visiting teams, with Liverpool only managing a 1-1 draw and other top sides like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea fighting fiercely for victory.
Looking ahead, Chelsea now focus on the FA Cup clash against Preston North End, followed by the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final tie against Middlesbrough. This presents an opportunity for Mauricio Pochettino to secure his first piece of silverware in England, after previously going without trophies during his spells with Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur.
