Thomas Tuchel saluted Hakim Ziyech after the Chelsea winger’s brilliant strike kept alive their faint EPL title hopes in a crucial 2-0 win against Tottenham on Sunday. 

Ziyech broke the deadlock with his dazzling long-range curler early in the second half at Stamford Bridge. Thiago Silva’s header killed off Tottenham, who were furious that Harry Kane had a first half goal ruled out for a foul. Third-placed Chelsea are now 10 points behind leaders Manchester City after ending a damaging run of four league games without a win. “It was a brilliant goal from Hakim. His technique was brilliant. We were working extremely hard for it,” Chelsea boss Tuchel said.
