Chelsea cruised through Norwich thanks to seven goals from English players, including Mason Mount’s hat-trick.
Mount opened the score in the seventh minute with a brilliant finish from outside the box, and he added a second on the second attempt when he hammered a penalty past Tim Krul.
The Norwich goalkeeper saved the initial attempt, but it had to be retaken because the Canaries goalkeeper was found to have been off his line when the ball was struck, giving the Blues an unfair advantage, despite the Blues being 5-0 up.
As the East Anglians began to crumble, Mount had just enough time to tap home a third and Chelsea’s eighth of the afternoon after Rubus Loftus-Cheek squared the ball to him six yards out.
There were considerable doubts regarding where Chelsea’s goals would come from going into the game. Both Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner were ruled out of the Norwich game after limping out of their Champions League match against Malmo.
Tougher tests are on the way, but how long will the Chelsea duo be out? Thomas Tuchel gave an update on the issue, saying:
“There’s no big news. They will be out of Southampton too but from there we will see. They are both having treatment and feeling positive.”
While there is no specific timetable for their recovery, Chelsea will be hoping to have both backs available as soon as possible. However, with their newfound goal scorers, they may not miss them too much against the Saints.
