4. Norwich Fight Back

With a two goal advantage, Chelsea looked like they were headed to a comfortable victory. The Blues controlled the early stages of the second half with ease, playing as if the match was done and dusted. Norwich were determined to make it a game though, and found their way back through Nathan Redmond. The winger sent the home crowd into a frenzy by cutting the deficit in half on 68 minutes. This was his first goal since October, and could’ve been an important one.

With new life, Norwich began to throw numbers forward in attempts to level the scoreline and earn a priceless point. They were able to concern the Chelsea defense a couple of times, but the crucial goal eluded them. Thibaut Courtois came up big again to help his side hold on.
