Plenty of players impressed for Chelsea against Norwich today, at naturally the attention was on the home grown boys.
Tammy Abraham netted twice and Mason Mount scored a beauty, but behind the goals there was good work up and down the pitch.
Emerson Palmieri was impressive in particular, both defensively and getting forward. He’s been perhaps our best player so far this season all 3 matches considered, so it’s no surprise that social media got very excited about his showing today against Norwich. They were full of praise for the Italian.

Alonso is never getting into this Chelsea side again. Emerson is hands down the best in the PL league in his position. He’s a rock. Name a better left-back in the EPL, I will wait pic.twitter.com/wwp8GiSiRQ

One of the best players in Chelsea this season is Emerson. I don't know why past managers actually benched him for Alonso
