Michy Batshuayi opened scoring for the Blues the 55th minute following a low near post cross by Kenedy.

Jamal Lewis equalised for Norwich City in the final minute of stoppage time, nodding home Timm Klose’s cross.

In the shoot out, Chelsea scored all five kicks, while Norwich City were only able to convert three.

The Blues will host Newcastle United in the next round.
