Under-18s report: Chelsea 0 Southampton 3

13 Apr 2022


Our young Blues have now lost back-to-back games for only the second time
this season as they were beaten on Wednesday afternoon. In a defeat that
all but rules out the possibility of a late title charge, we were second
best.

It was a much-changed line-up from Ed Brand as our young Blues took on
title favourites Southampton.


After a positive opening couple of minutes from Chelsea, the Saints took
complete control of the game albeit without initially testing Prince
Adegoke in goal.


However their early dominance and control ultimately lead to the opener as
Luke Pearce with a deft touch controlled a floated ball into his path and
he finished calmly under the onrushing Adegoke.

Prince Adegoke was kept busy as the Saints tested his goal regularly
throughout the 90 minutes


Our young Blues' backs were against the ropes and the away side's lead was
doubled moments later from the penalty spot. Tudor Mendel-Idowu was
adjudged to have fouled Ryan Finnigan in the penalty box and the referee
did not hesitate to point to the spot. Dom Ballard took the penalty and
finished well.


The pressure was mounting as attacker Pearce had two opportunities to
worsen the scoreline for Brand's team.


The second period followed a similar pattern as again we started fast and
tried to catch our opponents by surprise and that nearly paid off.
Malik Mothersille came close to halving the deficit when his effort hit
the crossbar


Malik Mothersille's shot cannoned off the crossbar in a situation where he
might have believed he should have scored. Following that opportunity, the
Saints had further opportunities to increase the scoreline as Kami Doyle
and Diamond Edwards both came close.


With our boys running out of time to find a goal to mount a comeback the
game was sealed 15 minutes before the final whistle as it was that man
Pearce again who battled hard to win the ball in midfield, drive towards
goal and then poke beyond Adegoke.

Edwin Andersson also had an opportunity but he failed to convert as his
shot was just wide of the goal


A tough defeat at home against a one of the best-performing teams in the
league this season as they go top, and we stay in sixth.
