Chelsea Vs Norwich City live stream
Having survived the banality of the all-embracing break, it is time
to attending advanced to a acknowledgment to calm activity afresh as
Norwich City face a cruise to West London to face Chelsea at Stamford
Bridge. Above-mentioned to the alpha of the season, it would accept
taken a adventurous man to adumbrate that by the time the two abandon
met twelve amateur in City would in fact be aloft Chelsea in the
alliance table. This is absolutely the case, however, and anticipation
by the standings anyone would be forgiven for anecdotic the bold as a
‘six pointer’ affair.
Norwich accept been no strangers to Stamford Bridge in contempo times,
and, while success has been minimal, I yield a attending at the added
memorable visits.
Chelsea 0 – 0 Norwich City – 4th May 2014
Norwich entered their final abroad bold of the division in a barren
bearings – 3 credibility afloat in the assignment zone, with a far
inferior ambition aberration to Sunderland in 17th and with a final day
appointment of Arsenal looming over them. Essentially, our cruise to
Stamford Bridge was a accept to win and, basically, Norwich admirers
were accommodated to our fate. For the majority, the bold was a pride
mission – and Neil Adam’s City ancillary added than delivered. A Chelsea
achievement would accept taken them top and such an aftereffect was
broadly expected, but Norwich – who won alert abroad from home all
division – balked the hosts with a arresting affectation below of a
assignment outfit. Earning a 0-0 draw, Norwich concluded a run of eight
alternating abroad alliance defeats and gave admirers a actual
abbreviate blink of achievement for survival. City had been defeated in
their antecedent six visits to the Bridge and, while the point accepted
to be of little acceptation as defeat to Arsenal a anniversary after
accepted our demise, the draw was one baby highlight in an contrarily
austere season.
Chelsea 3 – 1 Norwich City – 27th August 2011
As just our additional abroad bout aback in the Premier Alliance
afterward aback to aback promotions, this bold represented our
aboriginal bout up adjoin a top four ancillary in over 6 years. Duly, we
entered with abundant trepidation. Such trepidation, however, was
accepted to be confused as Norwich akin the abundance of Chelsea in a
achievement that stands out, for me, as one of our best during Paul
Lambert’s reign. If Jose Bosingwa’s continued ambit accomplishment
exhausted John Ruddy with just a few account on the alarm it looked like
it would be a continued afternoon for City, but, accepting survived the
aboriginal onslaught, we began to acquisition our rhythm. We displayed a
akin of quick, able and automatic football that was below of a
ancillary who were plying their barter in Alliance One just 18 months
prior, and, at times, Chelsea couldn’t cope. If Grant Holt equalised
mid-way through the additional bisected afterward a Hilario and John
Terry mix up it was no added than we deserved.
You apperceive if as supporters you get those goals that stick in your
apperception artlessly due to the akin of batty bliss that greeted it
hitting the net? That was one of those goals. I can vividly bethink the
celebrations in the Upper bank of the Shed End to this day.
Unfortunately, and rather unfairly, a backward Frank Lampard amends and
consecutive red agenda for John Ruddy, followed by a third ambition from
debutant Juan Mata, meant that Chelsea ran out 3-1 winners. It was,
however, one of those few defeats that did actual little to bedew
alcohol as with that akin of achievement adjoin the actual best, you
just knew that we would be accept that season.
Chelsea 2 – 3 Norwich City – 12th September 1992
Following a abruptness aerial alpha to the season, the Canaries headed
to Stamford Bridge in the alien position of getting perched on the top
of the Premier Alliance table. It looked like the cruise could accept
served to access City’s bubble, as we bound begin ourselves two goals
abaft afterward strikes from Mick Harford and Andy Townsend. However,
with acknowledgment in allotment to some adverse goalkeeping from Dave
Beasant, Norwich staged a arresting comeback. Firstly, Mark Robins gave
City a buoy as his aged attack trickled accomplished Beasant, afore the
English goalkeeper was bent embarrassingly out of position acceptance
Robins afresh to blow home an equaliser. In a day to overlook for the
now Reading goalkeeper coach, Beasant, somehow accustomed a scuffed
David Phillips accomplishment to agonize through his butt to complete a
hat ambush of howlers – extenuative the affliction till last. City
captivated on for victory, earning the additional of what went on to be 3
alternating victories at Stamford Bridge in 3 years. `While we could
not advance our position at the top of the table, we went on to
accomplishment a aerial third which to date is the clubs accomplished
anytime alliance finish.
