Six clearances in draw
Silva recorded one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Newcastle United.
Analysis: Silva registered one shot on goal across 90 minutes alongside a composed defensive shift, helping Bournemouth limit Newcastle to minimal clear-cut opportunities in the first half and holding the defensive structure together for most of the match before Newcastle's two second-half equalizers and ending the game with six clearances. He was part of a Bournemouth back line that was not seriously tested in open play during the first half. Silva has now started all three of Bournemouth's opening Premier League matches and his partnership with James Hill at center-back has conceded five goals across the campaign's opening three fixtures.
Six clearances against Everton
Silva had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Everton.
Analysis: Silva went the full 90 minutes at center-back alongside James Hill, recording two interceptions, six clearances and one shot attempt from a set piece as Bournemouth largely kept Everton's attack under wraps in Saturday's 1-1 draw. He was part of a back line that was only breached by James Tarkowski's 91st-minute strike, with Thierno Barry and Tyrique George struggling to seriously trouble Bournemouth during the 90 minutes of open play. Silva has started both of Bournemouth's Premier League matches this season, and his partnership with Hill is giving manager Marco Rose's side a solid foundation at the heart of the defense.
