The defender played the full 90 minutes of the game. He even felt discomfort in the opening minutes, moving with difficulty, but continued on the field.
Chelsea is the fourth club in which Thiago Silva has played 100 matches. The Brazilian also played in 147 matches for Fluminense, 119 for Milan and 315 for Paris Saint-Germain.
