Our Under-17 Premier League Cup run came to an end with defeat against
Fulham on Wednesday afternoon.

Two second-half goals were the undoing of our young team on Wednesday
afternoon as the chances for the Blues came and went. Ronnie Stutter and
Jimi Tauriainen were the brightest sparks for Ed Brand's side but a
clinical Fulham found the net on the two occasions that mattered and took
the points to progress in to the quarter-finals of the competition.


== Cagey first half ==


Brand's young Chelsea team started the game strongly. Bringing the game to
Fulham from the first whistle. Ronnie Stutter had fired over form Richard
Olise's low centre within two minutes of action.


After Chelsea's opening chance, Fulham switched on and grew into the game
with each passing minute, although their possession was nothing more than
just that.


The best chance of the first half came at the midpoint. Tauriainen burst
in to the box after some neat midfield play and unleashed a powerful shot
with his favoured left foot, and only the crossbar would deny us an
opener.

To end the half Chelsea were asked to defend strongly by Fulham's rapid
attack. Teddy Crud made a flying save to keep out the first shot before
Brodi Hughes was alert to cover his keeper and make a block on the line
from the resulting effort.


== Visitors strike twice ==


Chelsea were back out for the second half and almost found the goal within
minutes, Stutter again with the chance after Tauriainen's accurate pass
but the young forward saw his shot stopped by the Fulham keeper.


As we entered the final 20 minutes a place in the next stage was up for
grabs for either Fulham or Chelsea and the end-to-end action reflected
what was at stake. Lively forward Stutter saw our best chance pass by as
he could only find the side netting.


Just as the majority of play was in Chelsea's favour, a Fulham counter
provided the visitors with the break-through goal. An attempt from just
inside the area was slammed into the roof of the net for the advantage.


The second Fulham goal came two minutes from time. The visitors pounced on
a loose defensive pass and converted the chance to double the lead and
with that, our Under-17 Premier League Cup run ended at the group stage.
