Chelsea have squeezed through into the Fourth Round of this year's FA Cup after they managed to beat Norwich City 5-3 on penalties on Wednesday night.
After playing out a barren draw in the original fixture at Carrow Road, many expected that the Blues will take the Canaries to the cleaners in the forced replay at Stamford Bridge.
However, that was not the case as the Championship side put a resolute display.
A second-half goal from Michy Batshuayi was initially looking good enough to see Chelsea move on to the fourth round but a last-ditch effort saw Norwich City equalize and take the game into extra time.
Despite the drama that ensued in extra time in which two Chelsea players, Pedro and awful Morata saw red, the game still could not be decided.
In the resultant penalty shoot-outs, Chelsea outsmarted their foes to progress to the Fourth Round where they will be up against Newcastle United/
