The European champions made headlines for all the wrong reasons after the publication of the
findings of an FA hearing that questioned the accounts given by skipper John Terry and
defender Ashley Cole in the notorious racism case involving Queens Park Rangers defender
Anton Ferdinand.
Terry, facing a four match ban and a 220,000 pounds ($ 356,200) fine handed out by the FA for
his racial slur against Ferdinand last year, and Cole, whose evidence was doubted in the
63-page written document, both played against Norwich, who took an early lead through Grant
Holt after 11 minutes.
But Chelsea playing with true style and panache, replied with four from Fernando Torres, Frank
Lampard, Eden Hazard and a superb volley from Branislav Ivanovic.
Lampard’s strike was his 129th Chelsea goal in the English Premier League, putting him level
