At Chelsea's victory, fans chanted Abramovich's name

At Chelsea's victory, fans chanted Abramovich's name.

On the day his club's long-term future was thrown into doubt, Chelsea beat bottom club Norwich thanks to Mason Mount's goals and assists.

Following the announcement that Chelsea's Russian owner, Roman Abramovich, had been sanctioned by the UK government, travelling fans at Carrow Road screamed his name.

Chelsea's players responded on the pitch to one of the most dramatic days in the club's 117-year history by surging into a 2-0 lead inside the first 15 minutes on their route to a fourth consecutive league triumph.

Trevoh Chalobah scored after connecting Mason Mount's corner in the third minute, before Kai Havertz set up England's Mount for his ninth goal of the season.

When halftime, Norwich improved significantly, and Teemu Pukki gave his team hope with a penalty after Chalobah handled, but Havertz sealed the points for Chelsea with a late third.

While Chelsea's hold on third place was reinforced by the win, Norwich remains five points adrift of safety with only ten games remaining.

While Chelsea's future off the field is uncertain at the moment, it was business as usual on it.

Before the game, captain Cesar Azpilicueta said, "This is not a typical day," while Thomas Tuchel said there was "a lot of noise" surrounding the club.

Chelsea's principal shirt sponsor, mobile network operator Three, suspended its relationship with the club within hours of the revelation that Abramovich had been sanctioned.
