Thiago Silva jokes that Carlos Vinicius clash is 'not even allowed in the UFC' after the Fulham forward somehow avoided punishment for hitting the Chelsea defender with a 'karate chop'

Thiago Silva has reacted on social media after Fulham forward Carlos Vinicius escaped punishment for striking the Chelsea defender in the head.

The Blues finally got back to winning ways in the Premier League on Monday night with a 2-0 victory, thanks to goals from Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja.

Following a weekend of VAR controversy, there was one moment of madness from Fulham striker Vinicius, which went unpunished during the clash at Craven Cottage.

Chelsea fans were left furious after Vinicius struck Silva on the side of the head - with what some have described as a karate chop - in the 57th minute of the contest and somehow avoided a booking.
