The Chelsea defense had failed to impress prior to this fixture, having already conceded five goals in two Premier League games. Kurt Zouma was guilty of a few errors across the backline, but Andreas Christensen had shown maturity that would suit well alongside Antonio Rudiger. Against Norwich too, the Danish defender was the pick of the lot in defense.

Christensen started the game as the right center back and had to regularly stretch out to cover for the marauding Azpilicueta. The Dane failed to stop the cross that led to the equalizer in the sixth minute, and could not do much to prevent Pukki from scoring Norwich’s second either. However, after Chelsea scored their third, Christensen came into his own.

The Dane was massive for Chelsea in the dying stages as they defended deep and regularly stepped up to cut out the opposition's moves. His devotion to the Chelsea cause ensured that Frank Lampard finally got the win he had been craving for.
