Barely 3 minutes after coming on, Riyad Mahrez scored the winning goal (1-0, 63′) for Manchester City in the clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge! The Algerian offers the three points to his team in the race for first place in the Premier League. City dates back to the second place 5 points behind leaders Arsenal. On a personal level, Mahrez has been involved in 5 goals in the last 6 games.
Riyad Mahrez after the 1-0 victory at Chelsea on Thursday in the Premier League, at the microphone of Canal +“It’s never easy to come and win at Chelsea, but we were solid and we deserved the three points. It’s the kind of goal I never usually score, so you can’t score a goal easier than that (smile). The coach tried something. Sometimes we start when we are less well and other times it’s the opposite. (he came on in the 60th minute and scored in the 63rd minute). You always have to be ready, even if you are disappointed at the start, because you always want to play. But I was able to stay focused because I knew I could help the team at any time and that’s what I did. I am happy. »
