(Video): Thiago Silva saves Chelsea with clever dive

Harry Kane had scored for Spurs, but a whistle brought play back, and to the relief of everyone in Stamford Bridge the goal was chalked off.

The referee said that Kane pushed Thiago Silva in the back, and there was a hand up with made contact with the Brazilian as the two stretched for the cross.

You can certainly argue it was a foul, but Silva went down to make sure he got the call. A gamble, but a good one in this case.
