Video: Thiago Silva in tears after Chelsea’s FA Cup semi-final defeat
Chelsea got knocked out of the FA Cup after losing 1-0 to Manchester City in the semi-finals earlier today.
Bernando Silva scored the winner in the 84th minute, after De Bruyne’s cross deflected off the keeper and came straight at him.
City’s performance was otherwise a poor one, and Chelsea ended up ruing their missed chances.
Nicolas Jackson missed a one-on-one earlier in the first half and had two more opportunities to score in the second half but his finishing was poor.
They will however feel robbed as Chelsea had a very good claim for a penalty in the second half.
A Cole Palmer free-kick from distance very clearly struck Jack Grealish’s arms which was away from his body. Not only did the on-field referee waive it off but the VAR refuse to overrule his decision as well.
After the full-time whistle, Chelsea veteran defender Thiago Silva could not contain his tears as camera caught him crying and being consoled by captain Conor Gallagher.
