Silva's wife reveals Chelsea star's incredible dedication on Instagram after win

The defender was part of a Blues side that beat the Magpies 4-2 on penalties in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals after a 1-1 draw.

Silva, who's still a master of his craft at 39, made his 17th start of the season and played the full 90 minutes against Newcastle.

It was a cagey affair between the two sides and one that saw the centre-back remain determined and passionate until full-time.

He and his Chelsea teammates were quick to celebrate their win at Stamford Bridge when Djordje Petrovic made the decisive save.

But it seems as though Silva couldn't get enough of the action when he got home as he revelled in his side's progress to the semi-finals.

In an Instagram story from his wife Belle, the veteran defender was spotted re-watching Chelsea's win.

On another screen, Silva was playing the popular video game Football Manager, although it's unclear as to which club he was controlling.

Belle added a caption that translates to: "When I say it, there are people who don't believe it. He's already reviewing the game he just played."

Mauricio Pochettino will surely review the match with his Chelsea squad together, but ultra-professional Silva seems keen to do it by himself.
