Chelsea will put us out and beat us in the league I think. They've been one of the best sides in the league for a while now.
 
For me it should be disallowed.

Silva is standing in an offside position at the time the ball is headed. That position is in almost the middle of the goal and at the time of heading just to the right of the keeper. Less than a second before the ball is headed he’s pushing into the goalkeeper who is pushing him off. If that isn’t interfering with play then what is? The goalkeeper then doesn’t have time to reset before the ball is headed and goes passed him.

Without Silva it possibly would still have gone in but for me Silva is clearly interfering with play.

One of those that if we'd scored it you'd say it should have been given, whereas if we'd conceded it, you'd want it disallowed, could have gone either way.

Tbh keeper should have been more ballsy and dominated the area and not let someone tiny like Silva put him off.
