Jordan Ayew unhappy Thiago Silva was not sent off for deliberate handball

The premeditated handball by Thiago Silva against Crystal Palace did not result in a red card, which has angered Ghanaian forward Jordan Ayew.

The 38-year-old defender got into a fight with Ayew during the first half when the Blues were on the back foot.

Just within the west Londoners’ half, the two engaged in a scuffle. Ayew would have had plenty of space to run in behind Chelsea’s backline when Silva went down under pressure from the Palace forward and, in classic modern football fashion, the Brazil international clawed the ball away from Ayew.

“I don’t understand – this year is really inconsistent,” Ayew said as quoted by the club’s website. “I don’t understand but I don’t want to say too much. It’s the past and my objective is to focus on the next game.

“It’s the game, and the Premier League is ruthless. From my opinion, that was the turning point in the game and that’s it, it’s football.

“We should have taken a point. We weren’t far but we need to keep working and going in the right direction and pushing to win games.

“We just need to focus on our next game, try to win and we will take it from there.”

Ayew has made seven league appearances for the Eagles this season and provided two assists in the process.
