The aftermath of the match saw Chelsea’s manager, Mauricio Pochettino, expressing fury at his players. Pochettino criticized their lack of hunger and desire, particularly disappointing after their impressive performance in the thrilling 4-4 draw with Man City before the international break. Silva’s apology on social media stands as a notable example of accountability amid a challenging moment for the team.
Chelsea will face a tough test at home to Brighton next weekend then a trip to Manchester to face United on Monday night.
