excitement and drama in prospect tonight here at stamford bridge in west london derrick ray
here on the commentary box joined us always by former arsenal and england fullback lee dixon
and we're fully convinced this game will live up to its spilling it is chelsea and they
take on norwich city yeah thanks derek as always pleasure to be here i have to say the atmosphere
is fantastic in here i'm anticipating a really good game today hopefully we won't be disappointed
hoping for plenty of excitement here at stamford bridge
and a look at the chelsea starting eleven and golocante starts alongside matteo
kovich in central midfield and the idea is to have just the one striker up there
trying to pose problems for the opposition
good technique displayed
but he really is danger personified but in this game lee what do you think we might
see from him yeah he scores goals derrick that's what you want from the player the
top end of your pitch get the ball put the ball in the net it's a simple job really
and chelsea have given us away
mclean
kieran dowell
hanley kenny mclean now
skip mclean moving forward effectively strength and
control a big part of his game they really look after the ball when they have it
well strong play here
possession and patience the watchwords oliver skip
buendia has plenty of know-how
in the ball shielding department he's protecting it effectively
mclean
has a go well he's given a corner they referee
over it comes insufficient guy from that corner keeper's ball
rudiger kante now
the chelsea move still flowing advantage to them moving into the advanced position
could be and a goal that will do it they've been pushing for it and now they've been rewarded
well as we see again that's how to score goals get the ball into the box from wide areas and the
thunderous strike to beat the keeper hands down is absolutely brilliant a chance to revisit the goal
so the match has restarted one nil here
oliver skip dowell and intercept again well chelsea have struggled
with possession of it but on the break they've been devastating
the pace really hurts defenses they've been electric when they've had the ball
rather than a free kick it's advantage chelsea
mclean
skip kieran dowell
cookie
kai habets and mount can they get in behind them harvest can he finish and the keeper got there
well no escape not an immediate yellow card but the referee deals with him now
and over comes the corner well off target doesn't have an awful lot of space to work with however
mclean
yanulis and the electronic board showing one additional minute tamu
and so the first half draws to a close here in west london
well this man will get most of the plaudits for his contribution up to this point lee
well derek you're right he has played well and goals win game
the two teams have switched around and are ready now for the second half
well he's lost the ball
thiago silva
chill well an opportunity in the air but he's made a bit of a mess of that one
oh it's really a shocking effort i could do better than that and i can't head the ball
angola conte now with habits mateo kovacic well they must exercise caution standing off as they
are rudiger corte now but attacking possibilities and they'll be a bit annoyed to have lost the ball
chill well verna
tremendous block on a corner to chelsea as they look to press home their advantage here
here it is now a substitution
and he's fired over the corner still not clear
and he takes on the shots able to get his body in the way
well the chelsea fans are urging their team on here the players need to respond to this
in position player on the way again well he's given a corner the referee
and now the delivery struggling to get it away good defending to prevent the chance
the visitors possession stats are brilliant but after that
it's been disappointing i'd like to see them use those wide areas
around the defense get round them as opposed to trying to go through the middle
hanley skip
committed challenge
this might be the perfect counter-attacking opportunity
chill well
no far from the ideal pass
15 minutes remaining
now he must favor the cross
and the keeper more than equal to it well they are behind but can they
give themselves a boost with this corner
and it is substitution time at this juncture not just from one side but from both over it comes
so it's going to be a goal kick here
they've decided that now is the time to go to the bench
aspiely cueta just 10 minutes to go well possession seeded
lucas roop
and on the ball branchic and here they come still pressing for an equalizer
the referee knew that was foul play but advantage it is good tackle throw-ins given
mario brancich team of pookie high quality defending
well just listen to these chelsea fans the crowd very much behind the team
it's been a tough game but not long to go now to see this out couldn't keep the ball
well the referee has instructed the fourth official to put two minutes on the board
hanley te mu keeping possession of the ball with authority
they are making headway so the final whistle now it goes down as a victory for chelsea to
the delight of their fans around the world lee well it was tight wasn't it just done
enough in the end i suppose to deserve the win tactically a really good game derrick
well he is a player with the capacity to enthrall
timo werner lee let's get your assessment as regards his performance in this game
well he's always a danger isn't he no more so when he grabbed that goal he never disappoints me when
