A hot incident colored the Chelsea vs Leicester City meeting in Week 37 of the 2020-2021 Premier League. Towards the end of the match, there was a clash between a number of players from the two teams. However, Thiago Silva’s rampage against Daniel Amartey was the highlight of the incident.
As is known, an exciting and interesting match was presented at the Chelsea vs Leicester meeting at Stamford Bridge Stadium on Wednesday (19/5/2021). The match was also won by Chelsea with a score of 2-1.
This victory at the same time avenging Chelsea to Leicester in the previous meeting in the 2020-2021 FA Cup final. It is known, the Blues-nicknamed Chelsea- collapsed at that time with a score of 0-1 so that they had to bury the dream of sealing the FA Cup trophy this season.
The intense competition that occurred in the Chelsea vs Leicester match earlier this morning could also be seen before the end of the match. At that time, chaos occurred after Ricardo Pereira tackled Ben Chilwell. Suddenly, this incident received strong protests from the Chelsea players.
Seeing the feud happening on the sidelines that involved more players and also the staff of the two teams, Thiago Silva tried to intervene. However, Thiago Silva actually got furious when he saw a Leicester player, namely Daniel Amartey, who was nearby.
Silva was also seen fighting with Daniel Amartey. The feud was enlivened by Mason Mount and Cesar Azpilicueta who also rampaged at the Ghanaian player.
Seeing the incident that occurred between Silva and Amartey, the referee finally issued a yellow card. The card was given to Amartey, even though the player did not actually compete and was just warming up the bench at that time.
Thiago Silva’s emotional attitude to Daniel Amartey is not without cause. It seems that the Brazilian defender still has deep resentment with Amartey after the events in the 2020-2021 FA Cup final.
After the FA Cup final match was completed, Amartey, who was celebrating the title with Leicester, was caught taking controversial action by removing Chelsea’s vandal. The action, which was carried out in the player’s changing room, was recorded in a video which was then widely spread in cyberspace.
Amartey was immediately criticized. Leicester then issued a statement to apologize for what the player had done.
