Norwich City 1-3 Chelsea: Jose's masterstroke wins it for Chelsea!

With the amount of attacking players we had on the pitch now, Chelsea were set up to attack and we took the lead again on the counter attack from a Norwich corner. Pilkington hit a corner too deep and the ball swung across towards the edge of the box and was half cleared. Eden Hazard beat his man to the second ball in the air and flicked it forwards.

Willian then won a third header and followed it up by winning a fourth header and into the path of Oscar who had made a run down the right hand side.

As Oscar picked the ball up and brought it forwards over half way, Eden Hazard had spun away from winning his header near the edge of his own box and was away. He made a fantastic run forward and Oscar spotted him. Hazard was now one on one against his marker as the ball came over from right to left from Oscar.

As the Norwich defender tried to deflect the ball away, he was at full stretch and could only half clear the ball but, Hazard had read when he intended to do and the defender could only put the ball right into the path of Hazard who first time, shot hard and low towards goal. Ruddy tried to do what he could to block the shot but the power of the shot forced the ball under his body and literally trickled over the line to make it 2-1 Chelsea!

With that goal, Mourinho switched once again to our normal shape with Andre Schurrle moving back to left back.

At this point you think to yourselves “just see the game out now Chelsea!” and we expected us to once again dominate possession and slow the game down but Willian had other ideas.

Another Chelsea attack brought the ball forward and the ball found it’s way out to the edge of the box on Chelsea’s right wing. Willian came inside and hit a left foot shot that curled past Ruddy and into the far corner of the net to make it 3-1 Chelsea and finally take all three points for Chelsea! It was a fantastic strike it really was!

Chelsea saw the game out and took what proved to be a massive three points and you have to hold your hands up and give Jose Mourinho all the credit he deserves!

His tactical changes and substitutions won the game for Chelsea. How many times have we seen games like yesterday fizzle out and finish with us just taking a point?

With Tottenham being beat and Arsenal dropping points, we find ourselves just two points behind the leaders in third place.

What a great day it was for Mourinho and for Chelsea!
