Hakim Ziyech was on point as Chelsea emerged 1-0 victors over Premier League opponents Crystal Palace.
Throughout the 90 minutes, fans were entertained with top notch football. Both parties showed that they had it in them to emerge victorious in the encounter.
However, Thomas Tuchel's men proved better on the night.
Hakim Ziyech's winner
With the result looking like an entertaining with 3 minutes to go, it was a delight to the blues as Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech got their noses in front.
Another reason why the goal for Ziyech was appreciated is this. The Moroccan had previously put the ball in the back of the net, but it was ruled for offside.
Hence, with his second effort confirmed as a goal 15 minutes later, the joy of the winger must have known no bounds.
Previous struggles of the Moroccan
More often than not, the winger starts from the bench for Thomas Tuchel's men. As the coach believes there are other options worthy of starting ahead of Ziyech.
However, whenever called upon, he proves to be instrumental in most of Chelsea's attacking moves. Hence, has gained more gaming opportunities over time.
Conclusion
Although it was not the most appealing of performances for Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel's men would be excited to have ground the result.
They would be looking forward to sealing more points, but this time, with better performances.
