On Saturday, five matches of the third round of the English Premier League were played.
Defender Juan Mata successfully debuted with London's Chelsea, scoring a goal that helped the team celebrate a 3-1 home victory against Norwich.
The hosts took the lead in the first half when Jose Bosingwa scored an impressive long-range goal, but after the break, Grant Holt took advantage of goalkeeper Hilario's mistake to equalize.
As the match was coming to an end, Ramires earned a penalty in the box and left the referee with no choice but to send off the goalkeeper John Ruddy from the field, with Frank Lampard accurately converting the penalty.
Just before the end of the game, Mata, who came on as a substitute, sealed the victory, but the joy was overshadowed by what seemed to be a serious head injury to the striker Didier Drogba.
