#2 'Pukki Party' stings Chelsea as Norwich scored twice

He was meant to be there! Teemu Pukki was the talk of the town after his hat-trick against Newcastle, but he had to do it in front of his home fans against a top quality opposition.

Expectations always rise when one has shown immaculate potential and guile, as in the case of Pukki. He's sharp in the box, a clever striker when in possession and a physical presence.

And just when it looked like Chelsea established a strong foothold on the game, the Canaries produced one of pure quality to restore parity. Academy graduate Todd Cantwell did brilliantly to shrug off Jorginho, before laying it for Pukki, who then squared it back for the youngster to make it 1-1.

The unorganized Blues back line completely switched off at that moment, while Jorginho in the middle alongside Mateo Kovacic, just had to do better.

Pukki was not done yet, as he scored his side's second, and his fifth of the season in the 30th minute to further exemplify the problems within Chelsea's defense. The Finnish sharpshooter was through down the right when Kurt Zouma was caught ball-watching, but Pukki made the most out of an above average ball and netted for his side.

As seen in Norwich's fixture against Liverpool, the Canaries do not consistently run at teams, but when they do win the ball, they make it count.
