Guus Hiddink's Chelsea moved in to the top half of the table with victory at Norwich
Full-back Kenedy put the Blues after 39 seconds with the fastest goal of the Premier League season, before Diego Costa doubled the lead on the stroke of half-time.
Nathan Redmond scored as consolation for Norwich in the second-half but Hiddink was pleased his side managed to hold out for the win.
He said: “We didn’t want to go into their battle but they forced us to go into their battle.
“We were sloppy and I think we could’ve finished it off in the first half. At the end they made our lives difficult.
“Everyone knows how we started in December. We were down in almost the relegation zone and we had an in-between target to get out of there as soon as possible.
“We started to do that with draws and now we’ve won a few games in a row, which is encouraging.”
