Tammy Abraham's brace powered Chelsea to their first victory this season

#2 Mason Mount

The Englishman had impressed in the No. 10 role so far for Chelsea and he had another impressive outing against Norwich City.

Mount Mount showed great awareness on the field, identifying the runs of his teammates and feeding them with good balls. He was proactive in the final third, while his movement and passing kept the home defense busy right from kick off.

The Englishman was heavily involved in the first goal, switching play to bring Christian Pulisic and Cesar Azpilicueta into the Chelsea attack. This ultimately led to Tammy Abraham scoring the opening goal of the day.

After Norwich drew level, the Englishman got busy, closing down opponents and trying to inspire his team. His efforts bore fruit in the 17th minute, when he combined beautifully with Pulisic near the box.

Mount left the Norwich City defense stranded with his movement, bought himself some valuable space in the box and scored to put his team ahead again. He improved his performance in the second half and combined very well with Abraham as well
