Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel expects even more from goalscorer Hakim Ziyech.

The Moroccan has experienced an up and down time at the Stamford Bridge club since signing before the start of last season.

Ziyech was heavily involved for the Blues as they picked up a 1-0 win over Malmo in the Champions League, scoring the only goal of the game in the 56th minute.

Asked about Ziyech post-game, Tuchel said: "We always rely on his work-rate and his intensity in counter-pressing, his awareness. There is space for him to improve in decision making and connections on the pitch to be more consistent.

"With the ball he can still be more clinical and grow more into our rhythm. The injury in his shoulder cost him a lot, even if he pushed hard to come back early. He is still not 100 per cent free, and especially the offensive players love freedom in turning.

"A goal like this helps the most, so I'm happy for him and for Callum with the assist. It was decisive."
