Those Chelsea corners are a real menace to Norwich. This time it's Saul who gets the flick onto Mount's set piece, fortunately Krul was alert and managed to get down well to smother the ball.

Past the midway point of this first half then and honestly it's been all too easy for Chelsea, who have laid bare Norwich's defensive frailties. The home side look okay when they manage to get on the ball, but whenever they have to defence it's panic stations.
