Malmo 0 Chelsea 1 Ziyech 56
THOMAS TUCHEL was pragmatic after a far-from-vintage performance from his European champions.
“Well, we got the job done,” he said after the 1-0 win. “I think that maybe now we are judged by results, but who isn’t? We needed the result, we wanted the result and we got the result.”
Chelsea returned from Sweden in the early hours of this morning in a much better mood than after their last Champions League away day.
That 1-0 defeat to Juventus last month came straight after a loss to Manchester City, prompting the most severe examination of Tuchel’s short tenure at Stamford Bridge.
The response has been emphatic. Unbeaten in their next seven games, including six wins and a shoot-out triumph in the Carabao Cup.
Last night’s victory — courtesy of Hakim Ziyech’s second-half strike — puts Chelsea on the verge of qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions League, while they head into Saturday’s game against Burnley three points clear at the top of the table.
