Chelsea ace Hakim Ziyech says Malmo pushed them all the way last night.

Ziyech struck as Chelsea won 1-0 at Champions League opponents Malmo.

He later said, "It was a difficult game. They didn't give us as much space as we had in the first game at home. They were playing with their own crowd behind them and they give always an extra boost to them, so they made it really difficult for us. We weren't in as big trouble as it looked like, but it was pretty hard to be honest.

"They are a pretty difficult team to play against because they are playing so close to each other and closing all the spaces. Especially when they have a good game, it is really hard to beat them and find the spaces and create a lot, which I think is what makes it so difficult.

"It wasn't easy at all, we had it difficult in our last line to find the spaces and to find the last pass. They made it really difficult for us but in the end we had once chance and it won the game."
