Chelsea defender Thiago Silva explains Luton meltdown

Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has explained his final whistle meltdown after victory at Luton Town.

The veteran was seen angrily chastising teammates at the end of the 3-2 win. At one stage, Chelsea were cruising at 3-0 on Saturday.

"Every professional athlete will always be pushing themselves harder and thinking they can do better," he wrote on social media.

"In a competitive league, it's the details that secure three points. I just didn't want to spend New Year's like I did Christmas. Sorry."

The Blues sit 10th in the Premier League table, some 12 points off the top four.
