Chelsea defender Thiago Silva received man of the match in the Blues' win against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup with the defender described as a 'brick wall.'
Silva received the award courtesy of Jermaine Jenas, who was commentating for the BBC, and one moment in particular summed up just why he edged the award over someone like Mason Mount. In the 67th minute, the Brazilian halted and intercepted a Duncan Watmore pass and showed his composure throughout the 90 minutes in the back four despite a few Boro scares that Chris Wilder's team posed throughout the 90 minutes.
After that one moment, former Spurs defender Jenas summed up his actions with a five word saying: "He's built like a brick wall." This was followed up by Alan Shearer and Jonathan Woodgate giving their own verdicts, with the former stating: "He had a pair of slippers on! He was that good.
