Kepa: Comfortable game at the back as he was never tested. 6/10
Azpilicueta: Defensively solid and was also a threat when attacking. Got in some good positions on the right flank. 7/10
Rudiger: Solid at the back as Norwich never tested the Chelsea defence. Had some passes go astray. 6/10
Zouma: Solid performance against a Norwich side that couldn’t attack the Chelsea goal. 6/10

Jorginho: Kept it simple as he kept passing the ball in the middle of the park. 6/10
Loftus-Cheek: Still trying to get his best form after being out for a long time. Slow start to the game. 5/10

Pulisic: Lovely cross for Giroud to head home. Always threatened the Norwich backline. Got tired in the second half. 7/10
