When the FA Cup 3rd round draw came out, everyone made Chelsea favourites to Norwich city. And honestly, why wouldn't anyone back a top Premier League side to beat the Championship side?

The Canaries, however, showed everyone that they are not a side that can be taken lightly. They held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw at Carrow Road and were brilliant at Stamford Bridge too.

They took some time to get into the game but once they did, they shut out Chelsea completely. The Blues were made to struggle in the final third and when Jamal Lewis scored in injury time, the atmosphere in the stadium changed completely.

Despite a solid performance over 210 plus minutes on the pitch, a brilliant penalty save by Caballero was enough to break the Canaries faithful's hearts.
