    GOAL! Chelsea 7-0 Norwich. Wow, a seventh goal for Chelsea and it's a hat-trick for Mount. It's the Blues academy who combine again as Loftus-Cheek squares the ball to Mount who slots home from the centre of the goal. VAR have a look for an offside in the build-up however, the goal stands!

    GOAL! Chelsea 6-0 Norwich. Mount steps up and at the second time of asking converts the penalty for his brace. In fairness to Krul, he got something on that.

    PENALTY! Chelsea have a penalty kick courtesy of VAR. Rudiger's effort struck the arm of Normann and after a quick VAR check, the referee points to the spot. Mount is the man to step up and take it for the Blues, but it's saved by Tim Krul! Hang on, the referee has ordered a re-take as the Norwich goalkeeper was adjudged to have stepped off his line too early.

    CHANCE! It was almost a sixth for Chelsea on two occasions but Krul is there to deny the Blues with two excellent saves. Barkley is denied one-on-one from inside the box before Ziyech's long-range effort is tipped over for a corner.

    Chelsea just moving gradually through the gears now, keeping hold of the ball and looking for an opening. Ziyech drifts inside onto that magical left foot and bends a shot just wide of Krul's far post.
    73'
    Confirmation that Chelsea's fifth goal has gone down as an own goal from Aarons. Chilwell is in the mood for goals and takes aim from distance, watching his effort go narrowly high of the upright.

    Norwich make their third substitution of the game. Sargent is the man to leave the field and he is replaced by Andrew Omobamidele. Twenty minutes to play here.

    Amid that flurry of action, Tuchel makes his first change of the afternoon with Loftus-Cheek replacing Jorginho for the last 25 minutes of the match. Ziyech and Ross Barkley will be coming on very shortly with Havertz and Hudson-Odoi making way.

    RED CARD! Norwich are down to ten men and the afternoon has just gone from bad to worse for the Canaries. Gibson flies into a tackle on James, catching the Chelsea man late and referee Madley shows the Norwich defender his second yellow card.

    GOAL! Chelsea 5-0 Norwich. The Blues are running riot here and it's Hudson-Odoi with his second goal of the afternoon. It looks like a cross from the left which takes a deflection off Aarons, deceiving Krul and rolling over the goal-line. This may have gone down as an own-goal, you know.

    GOAL! Chelsea 4-0 Norwich. It's a fourth for the Blues and it's Chilwell who gets it! Chelsea work the ball from right to left as Kovacic turns provider again by laying the ball into the path of Chilwell, who drills the ball expertly into the far corner from the left side of the box. He cannot stop scoring!
    56'
    Havertz is blocked off by Gibson, resulting in a Chelsea free-kick. James manages to find Rudiger at the back post however, his touch is too heavy and the ball bounces away for a Norwich goal-kick.

    CHANCE! Norwich almost pull a goal back but it's Mendy to Chelsea's rescue again! A sloppy pass from Chilwell sees the ball fall for Rashica who rounds Mendy, but the Chelsea goalkeeper does superbly to recover and block the shot.
    52'
    Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Hakim Ziyech have emerged from the dugout and started to warm-up on the touchline. Havertz forces a corner for the Blues which is whipped in by the left foot of Chilwell, but cleared by Norwich.

    Norwich made two changes at the break with Brandon Williams and Milot Rashica replacing Lees-Melou and Giannoulis. No changes for Chelsea.

    The second half is underway! Chelsea are well in control at Stamford Bridge with a three goal advantage. They will be keen to add this tally while preserving their clean sheet. Can Norwich give the Blues something to worry about?

    That's half-time at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea hold a 3-0 lead over Norwich City and they are absolutely cruising. How many will it be at full-time?

    GOAL! Chelsea 3-0 Norwich. The Blues have netted a third goal and it's another academy product, Reece James, with a quality finish. Mount slides a ball in behind the left-full back Giannoulis for James, who brushes off his marker and chips the ball delightfully over Krul and into the net!
