Chelsea key player has apologized for his mistake and the defeat made by Newcastle
Newcastle decimated Chelsea on their home turf with a score of 4-1 in yesterday's match of the thirteenth round of the Premier League. The London club conceded as early as the 13th minute, but just ten minutes later, an incredible strike by Sterling allowed his team to equalize. However, in the second half, the Magpies sealed the fate of the encounter by netting three goals past the Blues' defense.
One of Chelsea's key players, defender Thiago Silva, made a very costly mistake in this match, delivering an inaccurate pass to his teammate. Joelinton capitalized on this interception, securing the third goal for his team.
Post-match, Silva posted an emotional message on his X page, stating, "I'm devastated. It wasn't a good day for us. I would like to apologize to everyone for the defeat, especially to my teammates who believe in me and support me every day. I take full responsibility. Let's gather strength and come back stronge"
Silva remains a leader within the team, and during yesterday's match, he became the oldest player ever to play for Chelsea at the age of 39 years and 64 days. The central defender aims to set aside this disappointment and move forward as Chelsea faces Brighton on December 3 in their next match.
