Rafael Benitez says that he is "pleased" with Chelsea's 1-0 win against Norwich City away from home in the Premier League.

Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez has said that he is "pleased" with his side's performance against Norwich City in the Premier League.

Juan Mata scored the only goal of the game as the Blues won 1-0 at Carrow Road to make it three league victories in a row.
