Chelsea's youth brigade made a statement as they secured their first win of the season against Norwich, with Tammy Abraham scoring a brace in the process.
Abraham's first goal came just three minutes into the match, and he was at it again in the second half with an unstoppable drive past Tim Krul.
The result marked Chelsea's 16th consecutive win against Norwich, and it was a testament to manager Frank Lampard's faith in his young players.
Lampard made two changes to the starting lineup, bringing in Abraham and Mateo Kovacic, and his trust in his younger players paid dividends early on.
Abraham's first goal was a sweet finish into the bottom right-hand corner, and he was at it again just 11 minutes after Norwich equalized, cutting inside the hosts' defense and unleashing an unstoppable shot high into the net.
Despite Norwich's second leveller, Chelsea continued to pressure their opponents' shaky defense, and Abraham's second goal saw him become the youngest Chelsea player to score twice in a Premier League fixture since 1998.
However, the Blues thought they had scored again when Kurt Zouma poked a loose ball home, but the VAR got involved after referee Martin Atkinson had initially awarded the goal.
The only downside to Chelsea's victory came late on as Mason Mount hobbled off injured.
