The international break came at a frustrating time for Chelsea given they had just won their last four games on the bounce but Ziyech’s display last night will undoubtedly have put a smile on Frank Lampard’s face. Morocco went in front in only the 10th minute as Ziyech put the ball on a plate for Inter Milan’s Achraf Hakimi, who made no mistake from close range.
The visitors levelled midway through the first half and the equaliser seemed to kick Morroco and Ziyech back into gear, with the Chelsea man converting from the spot before finding the net from a tight angle just two minutes later.
Zakaria Aboukhlal extended Morocco’s advantage just past the hour-mark to put the game out of sight and the win solidifies their position at the top of Group E ahead of the delayed 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, due to take place in January 2022.
