Frank Lampard has refused to blame Thiago Silva following the Brazilian’s error for West Brom’s second goal as he was robbed of possession by Matheus Pereira, who then set Callum Robinson away to score.

The Blues boss said: “Thiago Silva is going to be fantastic for us. He has been incredible in his career and absolutely, I will not look at him. I can talk about the mistakes, they are clear and I am open and honest about that.

“We are a team but we have to react around that and, to be fair, the team did in the second half.

“But, there is nothing on Thiago, I am sure he will stand up and say it was a mistake. But other than that, I thought he was pretty faultless in the game. That’s his first Premier League game done and in the bank. We will get a lot more from him as well especially as he gets fitter and as the whole squad get fitter.”
