Chelsea have the next key attack when Toni Rudiger plays a cross into the box Pulisic controls it turns and its the ball on the half volley but Tim Krul (the Norwich keeper) makes an amazing save to tip the ball over the bar keeping the score at 0-0. Chelsea continue to have the key chances Pulisic plays a ball into Giroud who dives towards the ball and meets it with their head and the ball goes in making the score 1-0 to Chelsea going into the second half.
In the second half Chelsea continue their domination when the ball is played across box into Azipcuelta who curls the ball towards the Norwich goal but it goes over the bar. Another Chelsea attack and Giroud this time manages to flick the ball over Norwich defenders into Pulisic who hits a tame volley straight at the goal keeper. In the final strong attack of the game the ball is played out wide to Willian who plays a low pass towards the front post Giroud manages to get to the ball first but his attempt steers wide. The game ends 1-0 Chelsea.
