Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has basically said what we are all thinking and have been saying since Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Tottenham.
We all saw it, even many pundits and former players have been admitting it, Chelsea were completely robbed by terrible officiating and the VAR room on Sunday. Neither of Tottenham’s equalising goals should have stood and it’s not even a debate. How the officials missed all of the incidents that went on is beyond belief.

Silva was one of the many Chelsea players left angered by the inadequate officiating, and even though he has since calmed down, he is still very clear and says that Spurs two goal ‘were not just’.
The Brazilian international has done an interview on the Chelsea website and not one person can argue with anything he has said here.
“It was an incredible match, a lot of intensity, and we played very well,” Silva said.
“We controlled it, apart from 10 minutes in the second half when they equalised. The two goals we conceded were not just. The first was a foul and a yellow card, not an attack for them, and after Richarlison was standing in front of my goalkeeper. He couldn’t see the ball and it went in.
“However, the most important thing to take from the game was that we played well. That gives us a bit more motivation for the future.”
Yet according to some journalists around, you aren’t allowed to question a Referee’s performance, only players and managers, which is just a very odd take.
