Chelsea have accumulated the most points in 2016 and are on a run which looked impossible to achieve back in December. The Blues beat Norwich 2-0 and are now 8th in the league table.
The win saw Chelsea youngster Kenedy score a goal after 39 seconds, while Diego Costa netted his customary goal under Guus Hiddink. A late Norwich comeback looked a possibility after Nathan Redmond’s strike, but the Blues held on for a well-deserved win.

Norwich 1 Chelsea 2 – Talking Points
Following Chelsea’s impressive win, we take a look at things learned and key talking points from Carrow Road.
Hiddink’s work with the kids is commendable
Who would have thought that two youth stars would get a chance to play for Chelsea in an important Premier League game under Roman Abramovich.
Blues have depended on spending cash to complete their squad in recent times; however seeing Kenedy and Bertrand Traore shine for Chelsea was a pleasing change at the club.
No longer rats or snakes at Chelsea
A lot was made when Jose Mourinho left the club with suggestions of player-rifts and some back tracking their former manage. Players leading that list were Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard.
It is hardly surprising to see the very same players playing at their full potential since Hiddink has taken over. Goals, assists and key performances have been a regular thing from the trio, who seemed certain to leave the club next summer.
Top 4 finish still a possibility?
Seeing Chelsea’s form in recent games, and considering how the other teams are dropping points, one can argue for them to pull off a surprising top 4 finish this season. If that happens, it could be the biggest achievement in Guus Hiddink’s managerial career.
