Premier League: Chelsea battle to 3-1 victory at lowly Norwich

By Aman Shukla

Chelsea put their off-pitch worries to one side as they beat a plucky Norwich City side 3-1 to consolidate third spot in the Premier League at Carrow Road on Thursday.

The players at Chelsea, whose Russian owner Roman Abramovich has been placed under sanctions by the British government, didn’t seem to allow the controversy to affect them as they swept aside struggling Norwich who look headed for relegation.

Chelsea took the lead after three minutes with a Trevoh Chalobah header and before long doubled the score when Mason Mount fired home before Kai Havertz Kai Havertz wrapped up the victory near the end. Norwich had pulled a goal back with a Teemu Pukki penalty.

Chelsea, whose fans sang Abramovich’s name all through the match, are on 56 points from 27 matches and moved eight points clear of Arsenal, who are fourth but have two games in hand. Norwich remained bottom on 17 points.
