Decent header from Jerome but it’s just over the bar. Good chance.
15'
Norwich have weathered the storm just a little but are on a long winless run of seven games. They must find a way to score tonight. Redmond’s cross is out for a goal kick.

A late challenge from Howson on Oscar and he goes into the book. Clumsy challenge.
13'
Chelsea settling nicely into their old, fluid passing mode. The movement is so good and this looks ominous already for Norwich.

STAT: Kenedy's goal after 39 seconds is Chelsea's quickest goal since Eidur Gudjohnsen needed 27 seconds to score scored v Arsenal on 21 Feb 2004 (2-1 defeat).

Redmond tees it up for Howson who shoots on goal and it’s just wide via a deflection off his own man, Cameron Jerome. Such an open game!
7'
Jerome does well, beating one man before teeing it up for Hoolahan but there’s just a little bit too much on the ball.
6'
Incidentally, Kenedy’s first start was was on 21 November at home v Norwich.
5'
Russell Martin lucky to escape an early booking for taking down Diego Costa.

Almost an instant response from Cameron Jerome, who gets across Gary Cahill but can’t turn Pinto’s cross home.
3'
A complete nightmare start for Norwich. The 20th time in the last 28 league matches that they have conceded the opening goal.

GOAL CHELSEA! And it’s the stuff of dreams for Kenedy making his second Premier League start. He receives the ball from Fabregas on the left and drives it into the far corner on his left boot. What a start for Chelsea.
