Under-18s report: Aston Villa 0 Chelsea 7

10 Apr 2021


A five-star seven-goal performance from our Under-18s saw us leapfrog
Aston Villa into fifth place in the league standings with Saturday
afternoon's win.

The reverse fixture produced six goals, four of which were in favour of
Aston Villa. Jude Soonsup-Bell's brace was only a consolation for the
young Blues who were stunned by their opponents on the day but it was much
the different story this time out with Chelsea on the right side of the
goals.


An impressive start from our youngsters produced a well-worked goal in the
20th minute, Myles Peart-Harris with his eighth of the season across the
Academy teams. Our next was scored by Joe Haigh and was quickly followed
up by Jayden Wareham who added a third before the break.


It was more of the same after the interval with Peart-Harris grabbing his
second and third and Charlie Webster on target from the spot. Jude
Soonsup-Bell netted our seventh and it sealed an excellent afternoon's
work.


== Starting XI ==


For Saturday afternoon's game Ed Brand named young Ted Curd between the
sticks for his seventh start with the older age group. Myles Peart-Harris
continued his recovery in midfield alongside in-form Joe Haigh who had six
goals in 13 league games prior to kick-off. Soonsup-Bell stepped up his
return this week, enough to earn a place on the bench having picked up an
injury playing for the development squad a month ago.

== On the attack ==


After a silence to mark the passing of the Duke of Edinburgh, the game got
underway at Aston Villa's Bodymoor Heath training centre. We started
brightly in perfect conditions and moved the ball around nicely in the
opening stages.


Every Chelsea player looked up for the game and neat play in the final
third was creating space in behind the Villa defence. Wareham and Haigh in
particular were finding joy in offensive areas.


Peart-Harris also had two early shots on goal. Both were wide of the
right-hand post, but it was encouraging signs for the young Blues who went
even closer with the next attack.


Haigh danced his way through the home defence but thought the chance had
passed him by after a heavy touch. Villa's keeper hesitated though, giving
Haigh another opportunity to take advantage of his position. He managed to
get a shot away but the angle was just too tight to find the net.


== Peart-Harris scores first ==


Our persistence finally paid after 20 minutes of play and it was the
familiar duo of Haigh and Peart-Harris who were involved. The move started
in our own half though, with Ben Elliott and Charlie Webster working hard
to recycle possession. The ball eventually found Haigh who charged into
the box and opted to pass to Peart-Harris who had run beyond the static
defensive line to apply the finishing touches. 0-1 Blues.

The same duo almost gave us our second goal moments later. Haigh broke out
of midfield leading the Chelsea charge who were 3-vs-3 against the Villa
defence. Peart-Harris was again quick enough to pass his marker and find
himself through on goal. However a strong right hand from Fillip Marschall
denied him a second.


== Another two in quick succession ==


Villa, largely outplayed at this point, did very well to step up their
game in response to going behind. It soon became very difficult for us to
move the ball around as we had been doing previously and the hosts were
committing more boys forward giving Curd and the defence some work to do.


Despite the change in play, we did well to soak up the pressure and pick
the perfect time to launch an attack on Villa's defence. It wasn't too
long before the provider of our first goal got on the scoresheet himself,
but it wasn't without a number of heroic blocks from the home keeper who
did his best to keep out shots from Vale and Wareham but was helpless when
Haigh tapped home from close range.



Our third was a much simpler goal. Dion Rankine used his trickery to
advance into the box. Unselfishly he opted to cross to the back post where
Wareham waited and had the easy task of tapping into an empty net. With
that, the whistle signalled the end of a near-perfect first-half
performance.

== Keeping the levels up ==


Back out for the second half, we were producing similar levels of play as
shown in the first and it wasn't long before we found a fourth goal. A
corner-kick routine saw Charlie Webster's cross flicked on to Peart-Harris
at the back post who squeezed the ball through a gap and into the back of
the net. 0-4 Blues and we weren't done there.

Haigh's signature close control was too close for the Villa defence to
handle. As he made the by-line he was fouled and we were awarded a
penalty-kick. Webster assumed responsibility and duly dispatched from 12
yards.


== Three of the best ==


Peart-Harris continued the afternoon's scoring from the spot. His
hat-trick was sealed when Soonsup-Bell was tripped in the box, leaving the
referee without an option but to award another spot-kick our way.


Last to join in on the scoring act was Soonsup-Bell shortly after being
introduced. Peart-Harris was the provider who found the forward with work
to do. He kept his cool and finished superbly from inside the box. The
seventh goal of the game came seven minutes from time and brought an end
to our afternoon in the Midlands.

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
