Chelsea were 7 points off 2nd placed Manchester City and 11 points behind league leaders Manchester United. Chelsea went into the game vs Norwich City very confident after trashing Aston Villa 8-0. For the first 35 minutes the game was a little bit cagey and Chelsea and Norwich both had opportunities to go in front. In the 38th minute, after some steady build up play, the ball fell to Mata's left foot and curled a sublime shot past the Norwich goalkeeper. The game finished 1-0 for Chelsea at Carrow road. Norwich has previously, at home, beaten the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal. This was a tough game for Chelsea. The 2nd half was a very possession based second half as Chelsea had 64% possession and created some decent chances. I thought that Chelsea should won by a big margin. After showing their attacking capability vs Aston Villa they should have at least won by more than 2 goals. Norwich are tough to beat at home but with the talent at their disposal the should have done better. Overall the result is very good because they come away with 3 points and moved closer towards second place because Manchester City lost 1-0 to Sunderland. Manchester United came back against Newcastle to win 4-3. Now Chelsea are only 4 points behind Man City and still 11 points behind Man U.
