Shaka Hislop believes Chelsea were in 'total control' during their UEFA Champions League clash against Malmo FF despite their narrow 1-0 win over the Swedish side.
The football pundit stated that the score-line did not reflect the overall game. He believes the Blues were completely dominant and were never under any real pressure throughout the 90 minutes of play. However, the 52-year-old did credit Malmo for keeping the game tight.
Hislop told ESPN after the game:
"As a score line it didn't really reflect the game. I thought Chelsea were in total control and credit to Malmo for keeping it as tight as it was. But at no point felt like Chelsea were in any kind of trouble."
Chelsea secured their second win over Malmo in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday, having beaten the Swedish side 4-0 in October. A second-half goal from Moroccan star Hakim Ziyech was enough to hand the Blues all three points on the night.
Chelsea have one foot in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. Following their win over Malmo, Thomas Tuchel's men now have nine points from four matches and are six points clear of third-placed Zenit St. Petersburg.
The Blues are still three points behind group leaders Juventus, who recorded a comfortable 4-2 win over Zenit St. Petersburg on the same night.
