Norwich City fans react as Canaries edged out by Chelsea at Carrow Road
Norwich City were edged out by Chelsea at Carrow Road, with Frank Lampard getting his first win as Blues boss.
Tammy Abraham gave Chelsea an early lead, before Todd Cantwell immediately hit back for the Canaries.
Mason Mount would take advantage of some sloppy play at the back to regain the lead for Chelsea, before Teemu Pukki made it five goals from three to level it before the break.
It would be Abraham who would get the winner for the Blues, but Norwich certainly gave it their all.
Some Norwich City fans reacted to the news on social media.

Read Norwich’s Verdict
It was certainly a good performance against Chelsea, who won the Europa League last season let’s not forget.
Going forward, Norwich look dangerous and again proved that they can score goals, however, there are more concerns with the defence.
Norwich gave the ball away way too much and looked weak when Chelsea were breaking.
If they can fix it though, Norwich are a dangerous side in the Premier League.
