Ian Wright hails ‘beautiful’ Chelsea star after Newcastle win

Premier League

Ian Wright hailed Hakim Ziyech’s latest display as Chelsea enjoyed a 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Saturday. Federico Fernandez’s own goal in the 10th minute put the blues in front, while Tammy Abraham scored in the second half after a superb run from Timo Werner to complete the win for the London side. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); However, Ziyech was unlucky not to register an assist in the first half of the game after his brilliant cross found Abraham, whose header was well saved by the keeper Karl Darlow.

Frank Lampard reveals issue with Hakim Ziyech at Chelsea

Premier League
