Norwich (dpa) – Despite the sanctions against the Russian owner Roman Abramowitsch and Chelsea FC, the club won the game in the Premier League against relegation candidates Norwich City.
The English first division football team coached by Thomas Tuchel won 3-1 (2-0) at the bottom. The team from London is third in the table.
With the German internationals Timo Werner and Kai Havertz in the starting line-up, Chelsea dominated the game. Already in the 3rd minute Trevoh Chalobah scored the lead on a pass by Mason Mount. The passer scored eleven minutes later after Havertz template. Since Chelsea did not use a few chances after that and ex-Schalke player Teemu Pukki scored the connection with a hand penalty (68th), things got exciting again before Havertz (90th) scored the final score.
Britain had previously imposed tough sanctions on Chelsea. The Champions League winner and club world champion is no longer allowed to transfer players, sell tickets for future games and must close all fan shops. The Russian Chelsea owner Abramowitsch loses control of the London football club for the time being.
