Chelsea clashed heads with Norwich City at the Stamford Bridge earlier tonight, hoping to pick up a win and further solidify their position at the top of the table. The Blues tore apart the Norwich defence as Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Reece James and Ben Chilwell got their names on the scoresheet to secure a thumping 7-0 victory for the hosts.
Let’s take a look at how each Chelsea player fared during the clash against the Canaries.
Chelsea Players Rated In Win Vs Norwich City
Edouard Mendy 7
The Senegalese shot-stopper had a relatively easy day at the office as the visitors managed to get just one shot on target over the course of the ninety minutes.
Trevoh Chalobah 7
None of the Chelsea defenders had too much to do against the struggling Norwich City attackers, but Chalobah picked up some nice passes to build the play from the back.
Thiago Silva 7
The Brazilian centre-back made some crucial interceptions to keep things tidy in defence.
Antonio Rudiger 8
The German defender was physically vigorous at the heart of Chelsea’s defence as he made some crunching tackles to win the ball back for his side.
Reece James 8
The Englishman made some defence-splitting runs down the right-wing and was eventually rewarded with a goal right before the halftime mark.

Ben Chilwell 8
Chilwell created all sorts of menace for the Norwich defenders down the left flank via his frequent overlapping runs. He was hardly called into action in his own half of the pitch.
Jorginho 8.5
The Italian international dictated the tempo of the match for as long as he was on the pitch. Furthermore, he didn’t refrain from tracking back and putting tackles to get his side back in possession of the ball.
Mateo Kovacic 8.5
Similar to Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic put up a stellar performance in the middle of the park this afternoon as he created several clear-cut goal scoring chances for the frontmen.
Callum Hudson-Odoi 8
It would be an understatement to say that Hudson-Odoi made full use of the opportunity that Tuchel provided him with. The 20-year-old worked quite hard to get past his marker and cut inside from the flank at every possible chance he had.
Mason Mount 9.5
The England international was in razor-sharp form in front of the goal today. A well-deserved hat-trick for the number 19.
Kai Havertz 6
The German international dragged the defenders out of position on numerous occasions to create space for his teammates.
