The young Blues took an early lead at Cobham against the Seagulls but were
denied the three points by an equaliser before half-time...

Our Under-18s returned to league action for the first time in 2022 today
in a home clash against Brighton & Hove Albion.


In the away fixture between the two sides before the turn of the year, the
young Blues emphatically won 6-1 but this rematch at a foggy Cobham was a
far tighter affair.


== Edging the opening minutes ==


Chelsea, the league leaders, looked to start the year as they ended 2021
but two early chances fell the way of the away side as goalkeeper Ted Curd
was required to save the first, while the second was put well over the bar
from a corner.


Ed Brand's boys scored their first goal of 2022 against the run of play
through Derrick Abu. The right wing-back bravely flew in for a header
despite the oncoming challenges after an inviting delivery from captain
Leo Castledine.

== Tight affair ==


Brighton responded well and were creating the better opportunities before
they took the lead through striker Zak Emmerson with 15 minutes left to go
in the half. Following a good save from Curd, ricochets in the box fell
kindly in the Brighton player's favour as he tapped home into an empty
net.


The half ended with our young Blues in the ascendanc, but struggling to
create clear-cut chances to trouble the Seagulls defence.


The second half was an even affair, both teams with the opportunity to win
the game. The best chance fell to substitute Edwin Andersson when his
flicked effort goalwards was saved excellently by Brighton keeper James
Beadle.

A last-minute save from our own shot-stopper Curd, who had a brilliant
game with a string of saves, closed out our first Under-18s Premier League
game of 2022.


The next fixture in this competition will be an away game against Arsenal
on Saturday 22 January.
