Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has been told star player Thiago Silva is finished in the aftermath of the Blues’ Premier League defeat to Manchester United on Wednesday evening. The Chelsea defence were all at sea during the showdown at Old Trafford and allowed the hosts 28 shots as United won the match 2-1.
United missed a ninth-minute penalty as Bruno Fernandes saw his effort saved by Robert Sanchez but then went ahead midway through the first half as Scott McTominay lashed the ball into the back of the net. Cole Palmer drew Chelsea level with a fine strike just before half time as the west Londoners rallied. But McTominay headed home the winning goal 20 minutes from the end as the Red Devils moved to within three points of fourth-placed Manchester City.
