Norwich are having a harsh reality into their Premier League campaign as they stay rooted on the Premier League log and if these results continue there is no doubt they would be back to where they came from; the Championship.

We came to see a football match but we were treated to an exhibition as Chelsea, despite being without Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner, they demolished Norwich City by thrashing them 7-0 without mercy. The beauty of this Chelsea team is that even though the game was built around Romelu Lukaku before his injury, you can see the flair in the game of these players and anyone can score which makes them a formidable opponent to tackle.

Mason Mount's hat-trick, Hudson Odoi, Reece James, Ben Chilwell and the own goal from Aaron's completed the embarrassing afternoon for Norwich City as their fans and chairman watched helplessly from the stands as Chelsea out them to the sword while staying at the top of the Premier League summit.

It didn't take Chelsea too long to find the back of the net for their first goal after Hudson Odoi worked his magic on the left-hand side. The ball eventually found Jorginho who laid a pass to Mason Mount. He wasted no time as he blasted the ball into the back of the net in the 8th minute to register his first goal of the season. That was the first of the floodgate to come.

10 minutes after, Kovacic did so well to pick out Hudson Odoi with a perfectly weighted through pass and Odoi raced on goal to slot the ball into the back of the net to register his first goal of the season as well. Mason Mount turned provider in the 42nd minute after he managed to squeeze a pass to Reece James and he managed to hold his ground before lifting the ball over the on-rushing goalkeeper to make it 3-0.

Chelsea started the second half as they ended the first and in the 57th minute, Kovacic got his second assist on the night after laying the pass to Ben Chilwell on the left-hand side of the pitch and the defence with the goalkeeper watched helplessly as Chilwell's shot thunders into the bottom right corner of the net to register his 4th goal in 4 games and he is the only Chelsea player to do that after Eden Hazard.

Norwich couldn't score but at least they scored into their net in the 62nd minute after another Odoi's movement on the left-hand side of the pitch produced a ball into the box which Aarons headed into his net as Tim Krul couldn't keep it out as it went into the back of the net underneath him.

Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, Ben Gibson was given his marching orders after a second bookable offence due to his clumsy challenge on Reece James. They were not only trailing by 5 goals and now they are a man down.

Rugider won a penalty for Chelsea after his shot struck the arm of Mathias Normann. Mason Mount stepped up to convert the spot-kick but his effort was saved by Tim Krul but he had to retake it because the goalkeeper stepped out of his line to make the save and this time around, he didn't make the mistake as he blasted the ball into the back of the net in the 85th minute. He got his hat-trick in the 91st minute after Ziyech sent Loftus-Cheek racing on goal and he unselfishly passed the ball to Mason Mount who only had to tap the ball into the back of the net to complete the demolition of Norwich City.

The game ended 7-0 and what a performance that was from Chelsea.
