Not too annoyed about that result. Didn't expect Norwich to go through before the game began. Just happy Chelsea have had to play 120+ mins plus had two players sent off. Could have a big affect on their game this weekend

Is that right? Not sure if that penalises Norwich or rewards them.

Rewards them. It does two things. 1) It allows Norwich to select their two worst penalty takers and remove them and 2) If it went to a 10th round, Norwich would have to use their worst PK taker (probably their GK) while Chelsea could use their best since all nine players would have taken a kick.

Maybe the Barcodes can do better at SB in the next round ?

Right.

I think Morata's red may have been for abusive language and not for dissent. I think the ref only showed the yellow once (for the dive).
