This was after Callum Hudson-Odoi scored in the 18th minnute and Reece James in the 42nd.

There was no reaction from the visitors in the second half, as Ben Chilwell scored the 4th goal in the 57th minute.

Five minutes after Norwich midfielder Max Aaron gifted Chelsea with the fifth goal.

Norwich only had two, making Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy untroubled for most of the time.

In contrast, Norwich keeper Tim Krul made eight saves.

King of the match Mount said of his performance:

“Before the game I put pressure on myself to get on the scoresheet as it’s been quite a long time, then three come in the same game.

“I was always getting in positions to score but wasn’t putting them in the net – I was sure the goals would come, and today was the day.

“The way we played, the way we started, the intensity was so important”
