FIFA Club World Cup holders, Chelsea threw Norwich Citys’ continuous stay in the Premier League into further jeopardy after beating them 3-1 at Carrow Road.
Chelsea fans chanted the name of their favourite owner, Abramovich at regular intervals in acknowledgment that his billions secured unprecedented sporting success for the club.
However, when they launched into another chorus after the match, the resident DJ turned up the music to drown them out.

On the pitch, Chelsea’s players responded to one of the most dramatic days in the club’s 117-year history by storming into a 2-0 lead inside the opening 15 minutes.
Trevoh Chalobah opened the scoring with a header in the 3rd minute before Kai Havertz set up Mason Mount for his eighth goal of the season 12 minutes later.
Norwich resumed the second half with a renewed vigour and were rewarded in the 69th minute when Teemu Pukki scored from the penalty spot after VAR review affirmed Chalobah handled the ball in the penalty box.
Kai Havertz sealed the points for the away side with a late third goal for Chelsea after he was put through by French defensive midfielder N’golo Kante.
The win strengthened Chelseas’ grip on third spot, as they go 8 points clear of Arsenal in 4th, although the Gunners have two games in hand.
Norwich on the other hand are now 5 points from safety with just 10 games left.
