  Henrique Hilário

  Made a few key saves throughout before his flap allowed Norwich to equalize.

• 
  92

  5

  3.50

  Ashley Cole

  Streamed forward to great effect in the first half and was as defensively sound as usual.

• 
  72

  21

  3.00

  John Terry

  Found Grant Holt a large handful and was unusually unsettled all afternoon.

• 
  58

  31

  3.00

  Branislav Ivanovic

  Was unsettled by Norwich’s pairing up top and didn’t look his usually robust self.

•

  3.50

  José Bosingwa

  A great goal early on that won the match for his team. His pace and willingness to attack down the right was something Norwich struggled with all game.

•

  2.50

  Frank Lampard

  Another relatively quiet game by his standards and was swamped out in the middle of the park.

• 
  85

  22

  3.00

  John Obi Mikel

  Sat deep through the game, which bypassed him for large chunks. When on the ball he kept it simple, which definitely helped Chelsea produce momentum.

•

  3.50

  Ramires

  Looked comfortable at right forward, but not conventional. His surging run which won Chelsea the penalty was the game's decisive moment

• 
  44

  42

  3.00

  Florent Malouda

  Cut in off the line well and put in a strong shift, though would have perhaps liked to have had a greater effect after being recalled to the first team.

• 
  76

  91

  2.50

  Fernando Torres Flop of the Match

  Once again ineffectual. Certain to be a casualty of the starting lineup soon.

• 
  75

  30

  3.00

  Didier Drogba

  Produced little but his presence was a constant menace that gave Norwich a few problems at the back before he was stretchered off with a nasty looking injury.

Substitutions

•

  3.00

  Nicolas Anelka

  Had little time to really impact the game.

• 
  119

  7

  3.00

  Romelu Lukaku

  Looked neat and tidy after coming on late but the game was effectively decided by Lampard's penalty as soon as he entered the fray.

•

  3.50

  Juan Mata

  Was quiet after coming on but took his finish with class and a steady head.

Norwich City

3.11

  17

  3.00

  John Ruddy

  Was red carded and cost his side dearly after what was a decent performance up until that point.

•

  15

  3.00

  Zak Whitbread

  Was withdrawn halfway through the first half as Lambert sought to change his tactics.

• 
  6

  14

  3.00

  Ritchie De Laet

  Coped OK with Chelsea's movement up top but at times looked a bit too slow off the mark.

• 
  8

  15

  3.50

  Leon Barnett

  Put in some crucial challenges at times and was big and strong at the back, exactly what was needed against Drogba.

• 
  7

  13

  3.00

  Kyle Naughton

  Was a bit too reluctant too push forward considering that when he did, he did with great impact.

• 
  6

  13

  3.50

  Wesley Hoolahan

  When he was on the pitch he pulled all the strings, at times sending Chelsea's back four all over the place.

• 
  5

  13

  3.50

  Bradley Johnson

  A bustling performance that saw him dominate Lampard and Mikel at times. Tried a few from range to no avail.

• 
  5

  13

  3.00

  Andrew Crofts

  Was largely anonymous though when on the ball, probed as much as possible.

• 
  6

  13

  3.00

  Marc Tierney

  Attacked well down the left flank with pace and vigor. Had a few problems defensively, though.

•

  13

  3.00

  Christopher Martin

  Worked well in tandem with Holt and was unlucky not to have got on the score sheet after a couple decent efforts.

• 
  26

  4.00

  Grant Holt Top of the Match

  A great performance up front and looked every inch suited to Premier League football.

Substitutions

• 
  3

  14

  3.00

  Declan Rudd

  Replaced Ruddy late on but had no chance with Lampard's penalty or Mata's late strike. Not the best of situations to be brought into for the youngster.

•

  14

  2.50

  Anthony Pilkington

  Brought on halfway through the first half with the aim of revitalizing Norwich's attack, which he did in parts, but not enough.

•

  13

  2.50

  Steve Morison

  Looked sluggish when through on goal during decisive moments in the match.
