The Debrief: Havertz and Mount catch Canaries out once more as winning run
continues

11 Mar 2022


After Chelsea made it four league wins in a row with victory at Norwich
City, we take a closer statistical look at the key numbers and talking
points from another success on the road…

It was a brilliant start as Trevoh Chalobah headed us in front after just
three minutes before Mason Mount's superb finish high into the net doubled
the lead with a quarter of an hour played.


Yet we dropped down the gears in the second half and Norwich improved,
Teemu Pukki halving the deficit from the penalty spot after a VAR-awarded
handball went against Chalobah. The scoreline was given the touch of
comfort our performance had deserved though when Kai Havertz netted for
the fifth time in six games to seal another three points.


== Another game of two halves ==


Just like at Burnley on Saturday, this was an away game of contrasting
fortunes either side of the interval for the Blues, albeit in reverse from
the action at Turf Moor. Whereas Thomas Tuchel's side were reinvigorated
after the break in Lancashire, this outing saw us start brightly out of
the blocks and race into a two-goal lead inside 15 minutes.


It was the first time we had established such an advantage at that stage
of a game since our 4-1 win at Crystal Palace last April and it set the
tone for a first half in which we had 73 per cent possession and 10 shots
compared to Norwich's two.


Mount and Havertz combined for half of those efforts on goal, ending the
first 45 minutes with a goal and two assists between them, before the
German went on to net our third late in the game, the first time this
season he's both scored and assisted in the same game.


It took Havertz up to 10 Chelsea goals for the season, beating his tally
from 2020/21. Mount, meanwhile, moves clear as our outright top league
scorer this term with eight, and has assisted or scored every 107 minutes
in the Premier League.


Things were a little different after half-time as our possession fell to
59 per cent and we had half as many efforts on goal, with our combined key
defensive actions (tackles, interceptions and clearances) up from 12 to
31.


== Right side of attack ==


With Christian Pulisic missing out through illness, there was a place in
the starting line-up for Timo Werner on the left, although much of our
attacking was sent down the opposite flank, with Cesar Azpilicueta (in for
Reece James before his withdrawal at half-time) operating much higher than
fellow wing-back Saul.

Havertz and Mount also lent towards to that side of the pitch, with an
attack from that area proving key in our late third goal. In fact, 40 per
cent of our attacking was directed down the right.


The visitors also enjoyed success in turning the ball over quickly in
midfield and higher up the field, typifying our energy and intensity out
of possession. We were able to convert that into high-quality chances too
and finished the game with an xG (not including the Norwich penalty) five
times higher than Dean Smith's side.

We had the lion's share of the game's clear-cut opportunities


== Mason on the money ==


Mount loves playing with the Canaries and so it proved again in Norfolk as
the midfielder scored and assisted in a generally impressive all-round
performance. He has now scored more goals against Norwich than he has
against any other side in his career, with six in five matches.


The 23-year-old netted a hat-trick against them earlier in the season and
scored his first ever Chelsea away goal at Carrow Road in August 2019 so
it was no surprise he started the game with confidence and commitment
right from the start.

He successfully retrieved possession on four occasions and won the same
number of duels, while on the ball his game-high 30 passes in the final
third helped create five chances for the Blues and four shots for himself,
both also unmatched in the contest. The one that went in, teed up by
Havertz, was his first since mid-December and his 25th for the club.


After claiming in his post-match interviews that the players had found it
difficult to focus at times this week due to off-field distractions, there
was certainly no evidence of that in the midfielder's eye-catching
performance.


== Thiago at the back ==


While Havertz and Mount were able to cause problems at one end of the
field, Thiago Silva's reassuring presence at the back once again provided
the foundations from which the whole team built.

The Brazilian's incredible pass map against Norwich


The Brazilian claimed an incredible 11 per cent ball possession just by
himself, had 133 touches and completed 94 per cent of his 122 attempted
passes, all game-high figures by some distance.


Similarly, only Trevoh Chalobah matched his five clearances as the veteran
defender showed the other side of his game in the second half when Norwich
upped their attacking intent.

Despite conceding from the spot to spoil our clean sheet, we still have
the second-best defensive record in the Premier League this season (19
goals conceded in 27 games). That has also helped extend our lead over
fifth-placed Manchester United to nine points with a game in hand.
