VIDEO: Tuchel - 'Thiago Silva is ageless'

Chelsea lived up to the high expectations after being taken over by Todd Boehly and making big signings to strengthen the squad such as Sterling, Koulibaly and recently Cucurella.

The Blues visited the Toffees at Goodison Park in what promised to be a hard-fought game and so it proved to be. The Londoners managed to take all three points in their first game of the Premier League season thanks to a Jorginho goal from the penalty spot before the end of the first half. However, Jorginho and new signings Cucurella, Sterling and Koulibaly were not the only standout performers in the match as experienced Brazilian centre-back Thiago Silva stole the show. 

The former PSG centre-back led the team's defence and his coach Thomas Tuchel was full of praise for him: "I've never worked with a player in general that age. He's the fittest one i have ever trained in that age. Thiago is a key, key player in the middle of the defence right now.
