Chelsea Stun Man City 2-1 as Ziyech Shines in Premier League Upset

Another victory on Chelsea’s scoreboard. On Saturday at Stamford Bridge, it was the visitors who opened the scoring thanks to Raheem Sterling. The Blues’ response came in the 63rd minute with Ziyech’s shot, and Marcos Alonso dashed any hope for the opposing team by scoring the winning goal in stoppage time. "I think we like to play against strong teams," Hakim Ziyech said on the club’s website.

"Everybody was hungry in this game, even in the first half. We went in at half-time 1-0 up but it was more like 0-0. We also had a bit of luck. If it’s 2-0, you go into the dressing room differently, but they missed and we still had the faith and the belief and I think we showed that in the second half." The Atlas Lion is even more delighted since he contributed his talent to this victory. "My goal was a good moment for me, I took it with both hands and it was good that it went in. For me, it was more like a draw but in the end we still had one attack and we won the game."

Chelsea and Manchester City will face each other again in the Champions League final on May 29, and for the player, this match is of paramount importance. But the Moroccan international is convinced that Saturday’s victory gives the strength and courage to aim higher. "It gives confidence of course but in three weeks it will be a totally different game, and three weeks is still a long time, we have other games to play. When it gets closer, we will fully focus on that game," he added.
