The meeting between Chelsea and Leicester (2-1) ended with a general fight on Tuesday, on behalf of the 37th day of the Premier League. Three days after the final won by the Foxes in the FA Cup, Thiago Silva had not forgotten the chamber of Daniel Amartey.
Chelsea and Leicester met on Tuesday for the second time in the space of four days. And Thiago Silva had not forgotten the FA Cup final lost last Saturday against the Foxes (1-0). For the revenge of the Blues (2-1) in the Premier League on Tuesday, the former PSG captain settled his accounts with Daniel Amartey.
Amartey had been sleeping after the FA Cup final
At issue: Amartey had posted a video on Saturday night, where he was seen taking the Chelsea pennant in the locker room before throwing it to the ground, with a nonchalant gesture. At the end of the match on Tuesday, in added time of the second half, spirits heated up around a quarrel between Ricardo Pereira and Ben Chilwell, yet two former teammates at Leicester.
Chelsea double Leicester in the standings
Thiago Silva had not forgotten the scene of Daniel Amartey, despite an apology published later by Leicester. The Brazilian defender was very annoyed when he saw his opponent arrive, despite being a substitute. If he tried so far to calm his teammates, the 36-year-old came to curse the Ghanaian when he introduced himself. The two were quickly separated, but Thiago Silva appeared very angry.

With this success, Chelsea has in any case provided most of the field, recovering 3rd place in the standings after 37 days. For Thomas Tuchel’s players, it will therefore be necessary to win this Sunday (5.30 p.m.) on the road to Aston Villa to validate their qualification for the next Champions League. The Blues could also directly qualify by winning the next final of the competition, on Saturday, May 29, against Manchester City.
