Chelsea player ratings: Tammy Abraham clinical but Kurt Zouma shaky at the back again
FRANK LAMPARD is finally off the mark with a win as Chelsea manager – with his decision to stick with Tammy Abraham rewarded.
The 21-year-old striker, who came into the game yet to score this season, netted a sublime double to give the Blues three crucial points.
Abraham’s opener and winner was sandwiched in between Mason Mount’s second goal of the season.
Here’s how Charlie Wyett rated the performances of Lampard’s players.
KEPA – 6
Will feel he could have done better for Norwich’s second goal. Not much to do in the second half.
CESAR AZPILICUETA – 6
Outstanding cross from the right for Abraham to open the scoring. Was given a test by Todd Cantwell.
ANDREAS CHRISTENSEN – 6
Forced an excellent save from Tim Krul while his defending was hit and miss.
KURT ZOUMA – 6
Could have done better for both Norwich goals – particularly the second one when he failed to track Pukki. Needs to improve as he looks shaky.
EMERSON PALMERI – 6
Not a particularly comfortable first half but improved and delivered some raids down the left. Also forced a decent block from Krul.
JORGINHO – 6
Had his name sung by Chelsea’s fans which is a far cry from last season. Torn apart by Emi Buendia for Norwich’s first goal.
MATEO KOVACIC – 7
Nothing special. Bought as a goalscoring midfielder but yet to score for Chelsea – but he created the third goal with a fine pass.
ROSS BARKLEY – 7
Only started because of Pedro’s injury in the warm-up. Caused a few problems going forward but failed to prevent Todd Cantwell tapping in the leveller for 1-1.
CHRISTIAN PULISIC – 7
Still adjusting to the pace and power of the Premier League. Played a part in the second goal. Still finding his feet but will be a decent signing.
MASON MOUNT – 7
Scored here for Derby last season and took his 17th minute striker superbly. Lots of positives although he was fairly quiet in the second half.
TAMMY ABRAHAM – 8
First goals for Chelsea. Great finish in the third minute having played a part in the build-up. Lost the ball for Norwich’s leveller but then delivered a polished finish for 3-2.
