Norwich vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal sanctions updates as Roman Abramovich’s name chanted despite

The mayor of London has said it is important to ensure Chelsea is not sold off as part of a “fire sale”.

The west London club’s owner Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned over his links to Vladimir Putin as the UK targeted more oligarchs after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Major Sadiq Khan urged the Government to remember there are millions of Chelsea fans who are “completely innocent”.

He told the PA news agency: “I think Chelsea are a great Premier League club, they’re the champions of Europe, the world club champions.

“They were a great club before the current owner and they’ll be a great club after the current owner.

“It’s important to distinguish Chelsea and what’s happening in Ukraine because the reality is for too long Russian oligarchs close to Putin had been using homes in London, businesses in London, to launder money.

“I think it’s right that the Government is now taking sanctions and seizing assets of those Russian oligarchs close to Putin.”

It may be chaos off the pitch, but Chelsea are in cruise control on it. They lead at the break and it really should have been more. Chalobah’s header inside three minutes set the tone for a dominant first half, with Mount and Havertz outstanding for the visitors. They then combined for Chelsea’s second as Mount found the top corner from the edge of the box. Norwich are heading down and it looks like Watford may join them. The Hornets trail Wolves 3-0 at the break, while it’s 1-1 between Southampton and Newcastle.

42 mins: The possession stats show that Chelsea have had over 70 percent of the ball at Carrow Road and Thomas Tuchel’s side continue to dominate as we approach half-time. The Blues have been excellent tonight, despite Norwich barely offering a fight.

In the Women’s Super League, Chelsea are also two goals up after goals from Pernille Harder and Niamh Charles have fired Emma Hayes’ side into a 2-0 lead against West Ham.

39 mins: Close! Almost a screamer from Kovacic! Mount’s corner is cleared to the edge of the box where Kovacic meets the ball on the half volley. On the bounce, his strike whistles narrowly wide of the post.

36 mins: Norwich are struggling to offer anything against Chelsea, with Thiago Silva strolling through the game at centre-back. Mount then chases back to tackle Williams – another sign of Chelsea’s sharpness off and on the ball.

The goals are also flying across the Premier League. Coutinho has fired Aston Villa ahead at Leeds while Wood has equalized for Newcastle at Southampton

Southampton 1-1 Newcastle

33 mins: Timo Werner has been offered a rare Premier League start on the left for Chelsea tonight, following the illness to Pulisic, and the German had a chance to add a third. Azpilicueta was allowed to carry the ball the length of the field before flighting a cross towards the back post, but Werner couldn’t trouble the goal with his header.

29 mins: Another chance from a Chelsea corner. Krul is forced into action to deny Saul this time following a run from Havertz down the left. Chelsea put seven past Norwich in the reverse fixture earlier this season and they are threatening to get close to that figure here today.

26 mins: Close! Chelsea threaten again from a Mount corner – this time as Christensen headed into the side-netting from the England international’s delivery.

It came just after a bird on the pitch stopped play at Carrow Road. The Norwich fans were chanting, “Sign him up.”

22 mins: Brilliant play from Chelsea, and Mount and Havertz in particular. The pair exchange passes out on the right, working the ball inside and into the box. Havertz then looks to cut the ball back Mount but he ca n’t get his foot from him over the ball and he slices it over the bar.

19 mins: The home fans are not happy at Carrow Road, but the hosts get a first sight at goal as Zimmerman carries the ball out of defense before his deflected shot forces Mendy into a save.

Elsewhere, Wolves have raced into a 3-0 lead against Watford. It’s not a good night for the bottom two so far and they are in danger of being cut adrift tonight – particularly if Leeds can get a result against Aston Villa.
