London, Jan 15 (Ains) Cheolsea returned to winning ways in the Premier League, handing Crystal Palace a solitary goal defeat at the Stamford Bridge on a day on which the Blues paid tributes to the late great Gianluca Vialli.
Kai Havertz scored the match-winner, rising highest in the air 65 minutes into the match to end the goalless deadlock in the London derby to head in Hakim Ziyech’s delivery as Stamford Bridge paid its respects to its former player and manager in their first home match since the Italian’s passing.
Chelsea were also indebted to a string of important saves from Kepa Arrizabalaga, the most important of which came late on to deny Cheick Doucoure.
The victory ended a run of three consecutive defeats for Chelsea as they moved to 28 points from 19 matches, the same as Liverpool who have a match to play.

"It’s very difficult for me. I like the tiki taka style of football. Is it a concept that belongs in history? It’s difficult. It’s proven that the compact approach and counter attack is very important in football – it brings trophies. Each match is different in football. Tiki Taka has not died out but these are the new trends that will decide matches," he said at the pre-match match press conference ahead of the third place playoff match against Morocco.
On Saturday match opponents, whom they face in the group and were held to a goalless draw by the North African opponents: "We knew before the World Cup that Morocco would be a serious rival.

With the surprising victory, Morocco became the only African and Arab nation to reach the quarterfinals in Qatar.
Spanish team members and fans were devastated at the end of the shootout at the Education City Stadium in the Qatari capital when their team failed to convert even one shot from the spot — Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou saved efforts by Carlos Soler and Sergio Busquets while Pablo Sarabia struck the post.
In contrast, Abdelhamid Sabiri and Hakim Ziyech scored theirs and though Badr Benoun was thwarted by Unai Simon, Achraf Hakimi sealed a maiden entry in the World Cup quarterfinals for Morocco when he sent Spain’s keeper the wrong way.
Spain, the 2010 champions became another major European casualty after Belgium and Germany crashed out, with the former succumbing to Morocco in a Group stage match.
Both teams took several shots at the goal during regulation time but were unable to...

Doha (Qatar), Dec 5 (Ians) The Round of 16 ends on Tuesday with Morocco playing Spain, while Portugal take on Switzerland. Here are four things to look out for in the World Cup in Qatar.
1. No change of plan from Spain
The Japanese were able to disrupt Spain’s rhythm to beat them 2-1 in the last match in Group E, but don’t expect any change of plan from the Spanish, who will stay true to their passing game.
Ferran Torres, Aymeric Laporte and Jordi Alba should give Spain more control than against the Japanese, but the Spanish don’t have a team to radically alter the way they play.
Maybe Ansu Fati’s brief cameo indicates he could have a bigger role to play, but if any side has an identity in this World Cup, it is the Spanish, and they are not going to change after just one setback.

After a barren first half, substitutes Abdelhamid Sabiri and Zakaria Aboukhlal did the trick for Morocco, scoring in the 73rd minute and in the second minute of stoppage time.
For coach Walid Regragui, who took charge of Morocco in September, the match against Belgium was his sixth in charge and till now they have kept clean-sheets in all six games with him at the helm of affairs.
This is Morocco’s finest World Cup moment as Atlas Lions scripted their third-ever win at a World Cup and stand a great chance to qualify for the knockout stage. For Morocco, ranked 22, the two other World Cup wins came in 1998 when they trounced Scotland 3-0 and in 1986 they stunned the football world with a 3-1 win over Portugal and qualified for the knockout stage.
