Chelsea defender Thiago Silva is now 39 years of age, but that did not stop him from putting in an excellent performance against Arsenal yesterday.
The Blues threw away their 2-0 lead, but some of Thiago Silva‘s defending was still top-notch.
According to WhoScored, the centre-back made three tackles in the London derby at Stamford Bridge. Marc Cucurella was the only Chelsea player to record more with five.
Chelsea supporters are now calling for Silva to be handed a new contract, with his current one expiring at the end of the season.
One fan posted on X: “New contract extension for Thiago Silva.”
Another said: “Please give Thiago Silva a new contract.”
