Chelsea Football Club suffered a humiliating 5-0 defeat at the hands of their London rivals, Arsenal, adding to their growing list of underwhelming performances this season. The Blues fell behind within the first four minutes and conceded two goals from former star Kai Havertz, with Ben White scoring a double in the second half to complete the rout. This defeat has put Chelsea’s chances of qualifying for European football for the second consecutive season in jeopardy.
Following the match, Thiago Silva’s wife, Belle, took to social media to express her frustrations. She posted a cryptic message containing three emojis: one with hands covering its eyes, another with its mouth covered, and a third with its ears covered by hands. This is not the first time Belle has raised concerns about Chelsea’s performance on social media, having previously done so after their 4-2 loss to Wolves.
Silva, who has hinted that he will leave the club in the summer, came on as a substitute for the final 12 minutes against Arsenal, making his 33rd appearance of the season. Although he did not concede during his time on the pitch, he was undoubtedly disappointed with the result. The veteran center-back was visibly emotional after Chelsea’s FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City on Saturday. With the Blues now at risk of missing out on European football once again, Silva’s successful spell in west London could end on a disappointing note.
Chelsea’s defeat to Arsenal was their 11th in the Premier League this season, highlighting the significant gap between them and the top four. The team’s poor results have raised questions about the future of manager Graham Potter and the club’s ability to compete at the highest level.
