Chelsea cruised to victory against Norwich courtesy of goals from Fernando Torres, Frank Lampard, Eden Hazard and Branislav Ivanovic.

Grant Holt was on target for the Canaries, scoring the opener in the match.
Norwich took the lead on 11 minutes, Holt producing a powerful finish from Sebastien Bassong's knock-down to cap a good Canaries move.
The lead lasted just three minutes when Torres attacked Ivanovic's cross to head home.
Chelsea went ahead on 22 minutes through vintage Lampard, the midfielder arriving at the edge of the box where the ball broke for him to fire past John Ruddy.
Chelsea were in complete control and it was no suprise when they added a third, Hazard producing a clinical finish after Juan Mata slotted the ball through to him.
Holt went close to unexpectedly reducing the deficit but his looping header drifted wide of the upright.
Chelsea continued to dominate after the break, Ruddy called into action to save down low to his left from Oscar.
It seemed only a matter of time as to when the Blues added to their tally and a fourth goal came on 77 minutes when Ivanovic's well-hit volley proved too powerful for the Canaries keeper.
At the other end Holt again threatened with a header but couldn't find the target.
Chelsea looked impressive as they maintained their good start to the season while it was another bad day at the office for Norwich.
