Moroccan outkast scores a screamer that knocks Spurs. Thiago Silva adds a header for the final 2-0

In two days, Morocco will face Malawi in the AFCON Round of 16 tie, but there won't be present their most formidable player Hakim Ziyech whose out of the team due to his bad relations with a coach Vahid Halilhodzic.

But one man's disposal, another man's treasure.

And that other man is Chelsea gaffer Thomas Tuchel. He's enjoyed a vital 2-0 home victory to Spurs on Sunday night, as Ziyech scored a sensational opener at Stamford Bridge.

It was a levelled game between the Blues and the Spurs in the first half, as Harry Kane even netted before his goal was ruled out due to an offensive fault.

After the break, things seemed to be heading to a goalless draw until Ziyech made all the difference with his outstanding shooting skills. Hudson-Odoi provided him with an assist, and the African gem nailed a proper belter that stunned the entire stadium.

Your reporter even shouted: "There it goes, there it goes!" the moment the Moroccan executed a shot that decided the entire match.

Spurs were on their knees, and Thiago Silva's second for the Blues soon after only confirmed a victory.

Antonio Conte's return to Stamford Bridge, where he enjoyed two fruitful years, ended in despair for both him and Tottenham players.
