NORWICH, England -- Substitutes Eden Hazard and Willian scored inside two second-half minutes to steer Chelsea to a 3-1 victory at Norwich in the Premier League on Sunday. Mike White Cowboys Jersey . Oscar was the first of the three Chelsea midfielders to find the net at Carrow Road in the 4th minute. After Anthony Pilkington headed Norwich level in the 68th, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho brought on Hazard and Willian off the bench. Chelseas lead was restored in the 85th after Norwich conceded possession from its corner and the visitors launched a blistering counterattack. After Alex Tetty failed to clear the ball, Hazard took advantage and unleashed a shot that squirmed under goalkeeper John Ruddy. Willian was on target in the 86th on his Premier League debut with a curling strike into the top corner. The victory keeps Chelsea in the top four with 14 points from seven games. Chelsea might have had a penalty in the opening minutes of the game, but referee Neil Swarbrick raised no objections when Ba went down softly between Sebastien Bassong and Michael Turner. It didnt matter as Chelsea soon led through Oscar, who began in the play-maker role behind Demba Ba, with Juan Mata on the right. Frank Lampards pass from inside his own half was brought down by Ba inside the Norwich box and the striker, with Turner backing off, laid the ball off for Oscar to hit it first time with the outside of his right boot into the bottom corner. It was a fine goal, but Norwich made it all too easy for the visitors. Mata was then granted space to pick his pass after drifting inside and found Ba, whose effort was well saved by Ruddy. The Norwich goalkeeper lost an aerial duel with Ba, who turned and shot only for Bassong to block. Norwich enjoyed some openings down Chelseas right, with Martin Olsson and Leroy Fers pace troublesome, but it was from down their own right flank that they nearly equalized when Ricky van Wolfswinkels cross was prodded wide by Jonny Howson. Ruddy recovered to concede a corner after Ba won another aerial challenge with Turner and the goalkeeper before Norwich pressed again without testing Petr Cech. David Luiz had Ruddy back-pedalling with a shot from a yard inside Norwichs half as the ball landed on the roof of the net. Cech was called into action for the first time when Bassong shot straight at him from a corner as the half came to a close with Chelsea dominating without adding to Oscars early effort. The visitors so nearly made a flying start to the second half as Andre Schurrle and Ramires combined down the left and the latter crossed for Ba. With just Ruddy to beat, Ba failed to cleanly connect and the ball went wide. Ramires was soon in action at the other end, dispossessing Pilkington, who went down, but Swarbrick was unmoved as the hosts appealed for a penalty. Chelsea captain John Terry got in ahead of Van Wolfswinkel and then blocked from Pilkington as Norwich threatened again before equalizing. Martin Olssons deep cross from the left created havoc and found Van Wolfswinkel. The Netherlands striker met the ball at the back post and centred for Pilkington, who got on the wrong side of Luiz and headed past Cech. Ashley Coles departure through an apparent injury forced a change in tactics for Chelsea, who threw players forward. Right back Branislav Ivanovic, popping up on the left, forced a save from Ruddy and then Eden Hazard, Coles replacement, fired narrowly wide. Norwich had chances, too. Nathan Redmond, on for Snodgrass, had an effort saved by Cech before Olsson lost his balance in the act of shooting. Redmond was lively and won a corner with five minutes remaining, but it led to a goal for Chelsea. The Blues broke and Tettey was unable to deal with Oscars cross-field pass, allowing Hazard to pounce. The Belgium forwards shot squirmed under Ruddy, who could only scramble forlornly as the ball went over the line. A minute later, Ruddy could do nothing as Willian put a gloss on proceedings with his first Chelsea goal.

Blackhawks RW Patrick Kane came up big when it counted, tallying two goals and an assist. He scored the game-winner with 4:45 remaining in the third period, stopping on the right hashmarks, carrying the puck up through the top of the Kings zone, then firing a wrist shot from the top of the circles past Jonathan Quick, who had his view obstructed by Andrew Shaw.FIFA vice-president Victor Montagliani believes an expanded World Cup is inevitable. World footballs governing body is considering expanding the World Cup to 48 teams and will make a decision by 2017, according to its president Gianni Infantino.The Italian suggested that 16 of those teams would go home after just one knockout match, and the remainder of the tournament would be played, as now, with a 32-team group stage, followed by a knockout phase. FIFA, which governs 211 nations, who all take part in World Cup qualifying, is expected to decide on the format for the 2026 tournament early next year.I think its obvious its not going to stay at 32 for 2026. I think its going to change, said Canadian Montagliani who was elected CONCACAF president earlier this year, following the disgraced Jeffrey Webb as leader of North American, Central American and Caribbean football.If we listened to traditionalists wed still have a 16-team World Cup. And there is a balance. You dont want 211 countries in a World Cup either.But the reality is that the World Cup is such a strong brand and inspires a lot of hope and inspiration in countries.For them just to dream about it, never mind get a piece of it, provides a lot of groundswell in those countries to promote the game.I think its an opportunity and I think the presidents right to really look at it.Should it expand? I think the answer is probably yes. I think now is, Whats the format? FIFA vice-president Victor Montagliani expects World Cup format to change Montagliani also suggested football might still be blighted by corruption if Russia and Qatar had not been chosen to host the next two World Cups.Russia will host the next tournament in 2018 and Qatar the 2022 event, with both nations winning the right in a controversial vote almost six years ago.Since the December 2010 awarding, corruption has been exposed in the global game, with then-FIFA president Sepp Blatter among those now banned. Terrell Owens Jersey. Montagliani, speaking at the Leaders in Sport conference in London, said: If Russia and Qatar wouldnt have got these World Cups, would we be in this situation now with an opportunity to clean the game? Russia will host the 2018 World Cup I think that was the starting point and the tipping point for certain things to happen. If England and the US had got the World Cup, maybe we wouldve had status quo.Im just wondering if the authorities that have stepped up their involvement in the game wouldve done that if the choices had been a bit different.Maybe the best thing that happened in football was Russia and Qatar.

CONCACAF has struggled with corruption perhaps more than any other of FIFAs six confederations, with Montagliani seeking to address the troubles and the image with the appointment of a first chief compliance officer and a potential re-naming of the organisation.No longer can a president or anyone else do things on a wink and a nod, Montagliani said.Right now [re-naming CONCACAF] is an idea. Were looking at it.As an organisation you always have to look to change.
