Different league, different ball game. That's what Brazil legend Thiago Silva found out during his nightmarish Premier League bow against West Brom at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

The former Paris Saint-Germain defender was made the captain of the side by Frank Lampard. But what followed was, well, beyond anybody's imagination.

At the break, the expensively assembled Chelsea were down 0-3 against the Baggies with Callum Robinson scoring a brace. Kyle Bartley made it three-nil in the 27th minute. After a routine win against Brighton in their season opener, Chelsea were defeated by champions Liverpool 2-0 last Sunday.
