Romelu Lukaku (For Werner 86’): N/A - The summer signing came from the bench late on to help the side see out the game and potentially score another. He dragged Kabak away from Havertz for the third goal.

NORWICH CITY RATINGS: Tim Krul: 7 - If it wasn’t for the goalkeeper, the result could’ve been a lot worse for Norwich. The Dutchman made some key stops, notably from Havertz and Werner from close-range, to deny the lead extending even further for the visitors.
Getty
Max Aarons: 6 - Starting out at right-wing-back before making the move to right-back, the 22-year-old was key in driving the ball forward down the right flank. He managed to beat Christensen on one such occasion, but lacked players in the box to cross to.
AP
Christoph Zimmermann: 5 - Part of a shaky backline, the 29-year-old found it tough at times to deal with the Chelsea attacking presence. He was also partially at fault for the opener, failing to get across Chalobah to stop the head. He was then substituted at half-time.

Grant Hanley: 6 - While his defence struggled in the first-half, the Norwich captain swept up well in the second to deny the Blues as his side gained traction. He made one great recovering challenge, running across to win the ball from Werner, who would’ve been one-on-one.
Getty
Ozan Kabak: 5 - Much like the rest of his partners at the back, the Turkey international struggled at times, but grew into the game. He could have closed down Havertz better for the third goal though.
Getty
Brandon Williams: 7 - The on-loan Manchester United defender was a constant threat down the flank for his side, both on the ball and with his passing. He played one long ball towards Rashica that was perfectly weighted to create a chance.
AFP
Josh Sargent: 4 - The American struggled to get into the game with limited service, though when he was given the ball, he was poor in getting it down with his first touch. He was also costly in the first Chelsea goal, losing Chalobah from the corner kick.
AFP
Kenny McLean: 5 - The midfielder struggled at times in the first-half, often overran and beaten in the central areas due to his teammates pressing elsewhere. This allowed Mount to consistently beat him. He had a chance to score in the second half from a free-kick, but his free header went across the face of goal.
Getty
Mathias Normann: 4 - The 25-year-old often pressed too far up the pitch to try and close down Jorginho, leaving his other midfielders overrun. Substituted at half-time as the shape changed.
AP
Pierre Lees Melou: 6 - The 28-year-old pressed heavily on the left and was part of the reason Werner struggled to get behind the defensive line as he closed down any potential through ball on that side.
AFP
Teemu Pukki: 6 - Despite his goal, the Finnish striker caused few problems for the visitors. He was often dealt with easily by the Chelsea defence, who would sweep any balls sent his way. His goal was dispatched well from the penalty spot, though.
AFP
SUBS: Milot Rashica (For Normann 46’): 8 - The substitute changed the game dynamic for Norwich at half-time, when they looked firmly defeated beforehand. His quality showed throughout, with an early free-kick almost resulting in a goal.

Lukas Rupp (For Zimmermann 46’): The 31-year-old came on to help shore up the midfield and dropped into the backline when required due to the change in shape. He did so with ease and his accurate passing helped the side build in a better second half.
Jon Rowe (For Sargent 84’): N/A.

CHELSEA RATINGS: Edouard Mendy: 6 - The Chelsea goalkeeper was called upon twice throughout the game, once from the penalty spot that he couldn’t stop and the second being a close-range stop that denied the hosts an equaliser.
AFP
Andreas Christensen: 6 - The 25-year-old produced a solid display, only ever being beaten once by an Aarons run that he dived into to try and stop. otherwise.
Getty
Thiago Silva: 6 - The Brazilian was rarely called into action at the back, but his passing was occasionally wayward or lacked full concentration. This was most evident when he gave the ball away to Normann for a chance in the first-half.
Getty
Trevoh Chalobah: 6 - The Chelsea academy graduate was called into defence in the absence of Rudiger and was put under pressure at times. He opened the scoring with a great header, but then gave away a penalty with a poor handball inside the box.
Getty
Saul Niguez: 6 - The Atletico Madrid loanee played at left-wing-back, often dropping into midfield to receive the ball rather than providing width. Defensively, he had to be covered a few times by Christensen, due to his positioning.
Reuters
Jorginho: 4 - The often reliable midfielder didn’t live up to his usual standards in a Chelsea shirt. He had little time on the ball and when called into action defensively, he made some poor challenges. The best example was when he wiped out Normann and was lucky to not receive a booking.
Action Images
Mateo Kovacic: 6 - The Croatia international showed sparks of his ability between both boxes, the most evident being a neat turn to beat Normann before running through the whole Norwich midfield in the first-half.
Getty
Cesar Azpilicueta: 6 - The Chelsea captain performed well at the back, but provided little width going forward. The Spaniard managed to keep pace well with Williams down his flank, beating him in a footrace to see the ball out on one occasion. He was, however, substituted at half-time.
Getty
Timo Werner: 5 - The 26-year-old caused the Norwich backline very few issues in the game, rarely stretching them or beating his marker. The best chance he had was a header at the back post that he put over the bar.
Reuters
Mason Mount: 9 - The England midfielder ran the show in midfield for Chelsea and was unfortunate to not have added more goals or assists to his tally. He was a constant threat delivering corners, such as his assist for Chalobah early on. His goal was then a sublime finish inside the box into the top right corner.
AFP
Kai Havertz: 9 - Playing as a fluid striker in a front three, the 22-year-old was a constant thorn in the side of Norwich’s defence. He often drifted wide to create overloads, with the most devastating being his pass into Mount for the second goal. He then thumped home from the edge of the box late on.
Getty
SUBS: Ruben Loftus-Cheek (For Azpilicueta 46’): 6 - The midfielder came on in the second half in a change of shape for the Blues. He added drive from the midfield, though he wasn’t always given the license to do so. One occasion saw him burst forward on the right and put a ball in that caused problems for Norwich.
Getty
N’Golo Kante (For Kovacic 86’): N/A - The Frenchman added fresh legs in the final few moments, pressing well to deny Norwich going forward. He also carried the ball well, driving up field once or twice.
