Hakim Ziyech was also in the Premier League with a final volley to beat Chelsea 1-0 in the Crystal Palace.
By directing Marcos Alonso’s deep cross past substitute Jack Butland in the 89th minute, Ziyech scored his third consecutive Premier League game and scored three crucial points.
The Blues looked set to return to the world with a rooster all week winning the Club World Cup for the first time in their history, with Antonio Rudiger and N’Golo Kante blocking the first half.
Palace came out on top in the second half but were eventually knocked out by Ziyech, where Chelsea secured an eight-point lead over the top four chasing West Ham and Arsenal.
