Chelsea defender Thiago Silva was caught using his phone behind the wheel of his car after being photographed on his wife's Instagram story.

Silva and his partner, Belle, dined out for dinner just hours after he had scored during his club's 4-0 victory against Preston in the FA Cup third round.

However, Belle inadvertently shared a picture of Silva looking at his brightly lit phone screen while in the driver's seat - an act that breaks the law in the UK.

In the now-deleted social media post, Silva appeared to have pulled up to a red light and took the opportunity to briefly scroll through several pictures.
