“Thank God your mother give birth to you”, Clearly he deserves to stay,” “Elite baller” – Fans praise forgotten Chelsea star for his great performance against Bournemouth
The Blues managed to earn a 3-1 win to end their miserable six-game losing streak.
However, Chelsea fans hailed Hakim Ziyech for his impressive cameo during the Premier League away win against Bournemouth.
Meanwhile, Conor Gallagher opened the scoring (9′) before Matias Vina restored parity (21′). Late goals from Benoit Badiashile (82′) and Joao Felix (86′) saw Frank Lampard’s team earn all three points. Ziyech assisted Badiashile with a spectacular delivery into the area.
While the player looks set to leave the club at the end of the season, fans were impressed with the Moroccan’s cameo. Since coming on in the 76th minute, he made one key pass and one assist. Ziyech also won three ground duels.
Fans lavished praise on the player for the display as one of them wrote on Twitter:
“He won’t be here next season but credit to Ziyech when he came on. He was actually amazing and very lively and got an assist.”
Another opined:
“Ziyech on for 2 minutes and creates our most clear cut chance of the match by far, but ‘the problem’ apparently. Clueless fanbase deserves nothing.”
The Blues moved up a spot to 11th with the win. They have 42 points on the board from 34 matches this season. Lampard’s side will return to action on May 13 to take on 18th-placed Nottingham Forest in a Premier League home clash.
The win against Bournemouth was a much-needed boost for the team and Ziyech’s cameo was one of the reasons behind the victory. Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter as Chelsea finally won a game after six straight losses:
@SeunMobolaji: He won’t be here next season but credit to Ziyech when he came on. He was actually amazing and very lively and got an assist

@Ziyechman: That Ziyech assist was out of this world, elite baller.
