CHANCE! And Jerome simply must score. Martin heads it across goal and he puts it over only five yards out.
Kenedy takes a little clip to the ankle as Jerome fires over the bar. He seems to be okay and runs it off.
Jerome shrugs off Azpilicueta but fluffs his left-footed volley into the side of the net. Disappointing.
Alex Neil may think of switching to a back four to use the width of the pitch. Still only one up front for Chelsea.
Costa a little slow in the box to get an early shot away, allowing the Norwich defence to regroup and crowd him out.
No changes for either side as yet but that is sure to change as the half progresses.
Back underway here at Carrow Road and Norwich really need something special. Not looking likely so far.
Kenedy celebrates scoring the opening goal.
That was only the second goal Diego Costa has scored outside London this campaign. The first came in the 3-2 victory at West Bromwich Albion on 23 August, his first PL goal of the campaign.
HALF TIME: Norwich City 0-2 Chelsea
GOAL CHELSEA! And it’s Diego Costa who lifts it past Ruddy after Traore’s touch. Looked slightly offside…
The fourth official has cleared up why it wasn’t a back pass. There was a slight deflection off Cameron Jerome. Well, it was minimal! Three added minutes.
Yellow card for Oscar for a challenge on Hoolahan.
Dangerous cross from Redmond but it’s cut out by Cahill and cleared by Kenedy. Norwich need more of that.
Fabregas takes and it’s a great save from Ruddy as Ivanovic misses his header but stays focused on the ball to palm clear.
Now Bennett goes into the book for a foul on Hazard. Dangerous position for Chelsea.
Cahill gets away with what looks like a back pass that is picked up by Courtois. The crowd don’t like it and boos ring out around Carrow Road.
Lovely ball from Hazard to Traore and he should be in on goal but for an awful first touch and Ruddy collects easily rather than be forced into making a save.
