Chelsea were convincing enough to record a vital 1-0 win against Norwich City at Stamford Bridge overnight.
Jose Mourinho’s under-fire squad were able to exhibit the qualities that led to Premier League glory last season and the result was hardly-disputable when taking into account the hosts’ control of the ball and attacking intent.
A frustrating first-half saw the Blues moving the ball with a mix of speed, patience and creativity, although the 10 shots created on goal in the initial 45 minutes would all go begging, leaving many onlookers with a sense of nervousness after the previous weekend’s profligacy. The return of coach Jose Mourinho to the sidelines may have kept the attack focused this time though and the decisive goal came after a quickly taken free-kick found Costa in space for an easy finish.
Outisde90 Senior Editor Hugh Schuitemaker takes a look at the best performances to come from both ends of the pitch.
