Ziyech goal earns Chelsea Crucial Win as They Defeat Crystal Palace (Video Highlights)

Chelsea were made to work hard and left it late, but returned to Premier League action with a win by beating Crystal Palace in our first match as world champions.

For much of the game, the away side looked laboured in their attacking play, struggling to create much for Romelu Lukaku and seeing N’Golo Kante’s shot inside the box following an incisive pass from Malang Sarr saved.

It looked like being another frustrating afternoon for Thomas Tuchel’s side until Ziyech netted to build momentum after their Club World Cup success in Abu Dhabi with three points in the Premier League, which strengthens their stranglehold on third position.
