Norwich 1-3 Chelsea: Cold smile on the verge of sanctions
Chelsea edged out 3-1 at the Tails’ home ground against Norwich, who were sidelined with Dimitris Giannoulis on the bench and Christos Tzolis out of action.
Thursday also featured good news for Chelsea, the only one following the British government’s announcement of sanctions against Roman Abramovich that directly affects the ‘Blues’.
The European and World Champion prevailed in a game of the 30th game of the Premier League, which was played earlier for planning reasons 3-1 at Norwich HQ and remain far from contention for third place in the Champions League.
Trevo Tsalomba and Mason Mount scored before the end of the fourth half to put Thomas Tuchel’s side ahead. The Canaries lined up with Dimitris Giannoulis on the bench and Christos Tzolis off the field without particularly threatening the home of Edouard Medi.
The Londoners often stepped into the opponent’s penalty area and tried several times with their foot, but could not find another goal. On the contrary, Norwich reduced the deficit to 69′ with a penalty by Teemo Puki, which caused concern at Chelsea, but in the end the “three points” were not lost. Kay Haverts ended up making up the bottom line.
