Half-time: Chelsea 0 Norwich 0 – both sides hit the bar at the Bridge


Both teams hit the bar during the 
first half at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea have largely dominated the FA Cup third-round replay so far.

Danny Drinkwater almost put them ahead with a 30-yard strike that crashed against the woodwork after the slightest touch from Norwich keeper Angus Gunn.

Drinkwater also went close for Chelsea early on, firing narrowly wide from 25 yards after being teed up by Willian.

As Chelsea continued to press, Gunn pushed away a shot from Willian, Cesar Azpilicueta was just unable to make contact with Tiemoue Bakayoko’s flick-on from a corner, and Willian sent a volley wide.

Having been on the back foot for most of the half, Norwich almost went ahead following a mistake by Michy Batshuayi, who has had a poor game so far.


Batshuayi’s stray pass in his own penalty area set up Nélson Oliveira, whose shot bounced off the top of the bar.

That lifted Norwich, who threatened again when Oliveira shot wide after getting away from Azpilicueta.

Chelsea: Caballero; Azpilicueta, Luiz, Ampadu; Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Kenedy; Willian, Batshuayi, Pedro. Subs: Eduardo, Christensen, Sterling, Kante, Musonda, Hazard, Morata.
