FA Cup: Morata, Pedro receives red card as nine-man Chelsea beat Norwich on penalties

Premier league giants, Chelsea staggered into the FA Cup fourth round by winning Norwich on penalties at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea and Norwich ended the game 1-1 draw after 120 minutes.

The Blues three players were booked for diving and two of them sent off.

Danny Drinkwater hit crossbar but the Premier league champions struggled to break down Norwich in underwhelming first half.

In the last second of second-half stoppage-time, Jamal Lewis headed home to take the tie to extra time.

Pedro and Alvaro Morata both picked up first yellows for simulation and later received marching orders.

Willy Caballero saved first spot-kick he faced, and then Eden Hazard stepped up to score winning penalty.
