Andreas Christensen was solid in the second half against Norwich
The Chelsea defense had failed to impress prior to this fixture, having already conceded five goals in two Premier League games. Kurt Zouma was guilty of a few errors across the backline, but Andreas Christensen had shown maturity that would suit well alongside Antonio Rudiger. Against Norwich too, the Danish defender was the pick of the lot in defense.

Christensen started the game as the right center back and had to regularly stretch out to cover for the marauding Azpilicueta. The Dane failed to stop the cross that led to the equalizer in the sixth minute, and could not do much to prevent Pukki from scoring Norwich’s second either. However, after Chelsea scored their third, Christensen came into his own.
The Dane was massive for Chelsea in the dying stages as they defended deep and regularly stepped up to cut out the opposition's moves. His devotion to the Chelsea cause ensured that Frank Lampard finally got the win he had been craving for.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
