Chelsea defender Levi Colwill earned just his fourth senior cap for England in Thursday night’s match against Greece.
The Cobham academy graduate along with Chelsea teammate Cole Palmer, started in England’s surprise 2-1 defeat to Greece in the Nations League fixture at Wembley Stadium.
The 21-Year-Old partnered with Manchester City’s John Stones at centre-back against Greece. He certainly impressed with his individual performance which got along of people reacting to the wonder show from the Chelsea Man.
The Chelsea youngster was brilliant in possession with his forward passes. Also, he made a stunning goal-line clearance early in the first half after an error from goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
It was a shaky moment for the Everton’s stopper, Pickford miscontrolled, gifting the ball to Greece star Anastasios Bakasetas.
The Greek skipper lofted the ball towards the unguarded net, and looked almost certain to have scored.
But Colwill went haring after it, before showing supreme athleticism to somehow keep the ball out.
Replays showed that the ball had been just inches from crossing the line. And fans were left in awe of Colwill’s amazing clearance, comparing him to Thiago Silva.
Moreover, Thiago Silva Reacted on an Instagram post about Levi Colwill’s Goal-Line Clearance with a comment captioned…
“BRILLIANT!!! GREAT BALL”…👏💙
Thiago Silva, who spent four brilliant years at Stamford Bridge, was an elite centre-back for the Blues.
In particular, he was renowned for some phenomenal last-ditch defending, including a goal-line clearance against Juventus in the Champions League back in 2021
