Chelsea legend John Terry praises Thiago Silva

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Thiago Silva's incredible performance for Chelsea over the weekend in their Premier League win over Tottenham in the London derby has earned him accolade from the Blues' legend John Terry.

The Brazilian footballer was in superb form for Chelsea netting the first goal which helped the Blues to beat their opponents 3-0 in what was a comfortable win.

With his goal against Tottenham, Thiago Silva is now Chelsea's second oldest player behind Didier Drogba to score in the Premier League which is an incredible record.

Didier Drogba was a goal machine during his time at Chelsea as the Ivorian helped the Blues to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League titles.

John Terry was very glad watching Thiago Silva against Tottenham and therefore offered his support for the Brazilian.
