Olivier Giroud proved decisive once more as Chelsea continue to stagger towards next season’s Champions League.
Failure to earn a far more decisive advantage, through the Blues’ wastefulness in front of goal and the inspired form of Norwich’s Tim Krul, will have done little to appease a prickly Frank Lampard.
In the final minute of added time in the first-half of Chelsea’s Premier League clash against Norwich, the Blues were fired into the lead by Olivier Giroud.
In-form wide man Christian Pulisic was slipped in by Marcos Alonso and beat Todd Cantwell before floating a dangerous cross into the box.
Target-man Giroud wrestled off Norwich centre-back Tim Klose before scoring a tidy diving header from close-range to hand Frank Lampard’s side the lead going into the break.

That makes it four goals for Giroud since the Premier League’s restart in just seven games, the Blues certainly made the right decision in triggering an option to extend the experienced star’s contract.
