Malmo 0-1 Chelsea
Reigning champions Chelsea moved closer to the last 16 of the Champions League with a hard-fought win over Malmo in Sweden.
After being frustrated in the first half, the Blues went ahead when Hakim Ziyech converted at the back post following an excellent cross from Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Thiago Silva nearly grabbed a second but his glancing header was cleared off the line by Anel Ahmedhodzic.
It was another masterful defensive display from Thomas Tuchel’s side, who denied Malmo a single shot on target.
Chelsea have nine points from four matches in Group H and are three points behind Juventus, who booked their place in the last 16 with two games to spare when they beat Zenit St Petersburg.
Chelsea need one more point to join the Italians in the knockout stages.
