Norwich City vs Chelsea: Player ratings

Vaishali Bhardwaj1 March 2016

Chelsea secured a nervy 2-1 win away to Norwich City at Carrow Road on Tuesday night, which takes the Blues into the top half of the table for the first time since August.

The reigning Premier League champions left the home crowd stunned after Kenedy struck within 41 seconds to hand the visitors an early lead after he linked up with Eden Hazard and fired in a superb shot.

The Norwich fans were later left incensed after the referee failed to give a free kick to the Canaries for Gary Cahill's backpass to Thibaut Courtois, who handled the ball before throwing it clear.

But, with the home fans booing, Chelsea doubled their advantage on the stroke of half time through Diego Costa, although the striker appeared to be offside when he chipped the ball over John Ruddy's head.

There were chances for Cameron Jerome in the second period but, after failing to convert them, Nathan Redmond scored for the home side in the 67th minute.

Redmond came close again with two minutes to go but shot straight into the side netting before Chelsea managed to hold off and walk away with the victory.
