Hakim Ziyech turns hero as Chelsea beat Crystal Palace

Hakim Ziyech turned hero for the Blues as he scored at the death to give Chelsea a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace in their Premier League match at Selhurst Park.

Both teams had couple of chances to bury the game, with Michael Olise and Wilfried Zaha missing chances for the hosts, while Vicente Guaita denied Antonio Rudiger and N’Golo Kante.Hakim Ziyech turns hero as Chelsea beat Crystal Palace

After latching onto a rebound from a Romelu Lukaku effort, Ziyech thought he had fired the the Thomas Tuchel side ahead, only for the goal to be called out for offside.

However, in the 89th minute, the winger delivered all three points for the World Champions by thumping in a Marcos Alonso cross at the back post.

Chelsea will play Lille in the Champions League on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge.
