MADRID, 10 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Chelsea made up this Thursday for their postponed game against Norwich City, bottom of the Premier League, and did not fail in their visit to Carrow Road, where they confirmed their third position in the table thanks to a comfortable victory (1-3) built in the first quarter of an hour.
Thomas Tuchel’s pupils already have 56 points and are 7 behind Liverpool, second classified, and 13 behind Manchester City, who unquestionably lead the Premier League. The ‘blues’ had no problems this Thursday to impose their superiority on Norwich with goals from Chalobah, Mount and Havertz, the latter in the 90th minute.
The locals closed the gap with 20 minutes remaining with a penalty converted by Pukki, but it was not enough for the ‘Canaries’ to leave -at least- one point in their fiefdom. The defeat leaves Norwich five units from salvation, which is now marked by Everton.
In other games postponed this Thursday, Wolwerhampton thrashed Watford (4-0) to stay four points behind the European positions. A little further, but just one position below, is Aston Villa, which continues to recover from its irregular phase based on good results. Those from Birmingham beat Leeds 0-3 with a goal from Coutinho and are already ninth. In addition, Newcastle beat Southampton 1-2 and extended their lead to 10 points with relegation.
