Chelsea defender Thiago Silva: If Rafael Leao scored we'd be in trouble

Chelsea defender Thiago Silva was happy to be part of victory against AC Milan last night.

Thiago Silva featured against his former club in the 3-0 Champions League win.

He told TMW: “I feel good, it was a special and important day. Milan were in trouble because Chelsea played a great game. It is normal that if one team plays well the other goes into difficulty.

"Then it all depends, if (Rafael) Leao scores that goal there at the end of the first half it changes the game completely. I always tell my players: within a game there are many games.

"If he had scored at that moment, the second half would have been a different game. It was important not to suffer that goal. Then in the second half we played well and Milan struggled a bit, but Tuesday will be another match."
