The ninth round of the Premier League opened today (Saturday) to great cheers and with seven surfaces under the auspices of leading Chelsea, who increased the gap to four points at the top after a unilateral 0: 7 over the unfortunate Norwich.
Even without the injured Romulo Lukaku and Timo Werner, the European champions have had no trouble hitting home at the edge in front of the visitors, who have remained stuck below the red line with just two points since the start of the season.
Already after 8 minutes, Mason Mount opened the celebration in London with a 17-meter diagonal missile, which was stopped only at the net.
Callum Hudson-Audrey (18) doubled without problems with a typical close-up roll and Reiss James (42) set up 0: 3 even before the break.

In the second half, the blue color was in full control when Ben Chillwell (57) and myself of Max Arons (62) arranged 0: 5 for Chelsea.
Norwich's nightmare continued in the 65th minute when she lost the Gibson brake in the second yellow following a rough injury to James.
5 minutes to the end, Mount scored the sixth from the penalty spot after receiving a second chance from the referee, and in added time completed a first hat-trick in the Blues uniform.
