Fair play to Norwich for making a game of this one but ultimately is pretty comfortable for Chelsea. First-half goals from Chalobah and Mount had the Blues in cruise control only for a handball in the area by Chalobah to hand Norwich a chance back into the game, which Pukki calmly took. Havertz had the final say, though, as Chelsea cement third place in the table.
