Making history once more, Thiago Silva has become Chelsea's oldest ever outfield player as he etches his name into the history books.
Stepping out at St James Park on Saturday, Silva became the Blues' oldest ever outfield player aged 39 as Chelsea look to come away with points.
Despite making history, Silva made a costly mistake in the second half, allowing the hosts a 3-1 lead over Mauricio Pochettino's visitors.
After a failed back pass to Robert Sanchez, Silva scuppered his effort, making a weak pass into the run of Joelinton who pounced on the opportunity.
Joelinton capitalised on Silva's mistake comfortably to net home the Magpies' third of the afternoon, doubling the deficit for the visiting Londoners.
Despite a costly error, at the age of 39, the Brazilian defender has had an illustrious career - seeing him don the jerseys of some of the most prestigious clubs in Europe, including AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, before making a defining move to the Premier League with Chelsea in 2020.
The physicality of the English top-flight has not shown any problems for Silva, with a record-breaking moment for the Brazilian centre-back.
Beginning his professional career with Fluminense in Brazil before making a significant move to Europe with AC Milan in 2009. During his time with Milan, he established himself as one of the best defenders in the world, contributing to the team's Serie A success in the 2010-2011 season.
His performances earned him a move to PSG in 2012, where he continued to excel and became the club captain.
At PSG, Silva played a crucial role in the team's dominance in French football, winning numerous domestic titles. His leadership and defensive skills made him a key figure for both PSG and the Brazilian national team, earning him respect and admiration in the football community.
In 2020, Thiago Silva made a high-profile move to the English Premier League, joining Chelsea.
Despite being in the latter stages of his career, he quickly adapted to the demands of English football and played a pivotal role in Chelsea's defensive solidity.
