Mason Mount notched a hat-trick as Chelsea put lowly Norwich to the sword 7-0 in a hopelessly one-sided top versus bottom mismatch at Stamford Bridge.
Ben Chilwell also continued his fine recent scoring run on Saturday, with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Reece James similarly on target as the rampant Blues notched some quality efforts and Max Aarons netting an unfortunate own goal in an emphatic demolition.
The huge win - their biggest to date under Thomas Tuchel - takes Chelsea four points clear at the top of the Premier League before the rest of the weekend’s fixtures, with Liverpool facing Manchester United tomorrow and Manchester City battling Brighton later on.
Winless Norwich remain rooted to the foot of the table with just two points to their name from nine games so far this term and a woeful -21 goal difference, with their prospects of escaping the drop looking exceedingly bleak before the clocks have even gone back.
