Under-18s report: Chelsea 1 Reading 2

Sat, 21 Feb 2015


Our Under-18s suffered their first defeat since the opening day of
November, incidentally away at the same opposition, as the visitors came
from behind at Cobham.


Miro Muheim had fired Joe Edwards' team ahead after three minutes, but
second-half goals from Jake Sheppard and Andrija Novakovich gave the
Royals all three points to take home to Berkshire.


However, with first place in the south section already secured, the game
provided an opportunity for younger members of the Academy to step up as
six schoolboys featured over the 90 minutes.


== Team news ==


There were four changes from the side that clinched top spot in the
Under-18 Premier League south section last week at Fulham as Mitchell
Beeney, George Brady, Charlie Wakefield and Hubert Adamczyk all came into
the starting team. Beeney was protected in goal by a back four containing
three schoolboys as Cole Dasilva, Josh Grant and Richard Nartey lined up
alongside Brady in defence.


Ruben Sammut and Mukhtar Ali continued in midfield, while Under-16 Jacob
Maddox pushed on to make a front four alongside Adamczyk, Miro Muheim and
Wakefield.


== First half ==


The young Blues came into the game on the back of four straight league
wins and unbeaten in all competitions since a defeat at Reading at the
start of November, a run stretching to 14 games. Having ensuring they
could not be caught at the top of the league with a 2-1 victory at Fulham
last week, the hosts began the game brightly and grabbed an early lead.


With just three minutes on the clock, Wakefield embarked on a dazzling run
from the right flank that beat a host of defenders before he teed up the
supporting Muheim on the left. The Swiss youth international provided the
finish, slotting the ball underneath goalkeeper Dan Ward to net his
seventh goal of the campaign.


Reading almost responded instantly as Axel Andresson's header from a
right-sided free-kick looped onto the crossbar and behind, before Andrija
Novakovich fired wide of the near post after good work to bring the ball
into a shooting position.


Jake Sheppard was presented with a good opportunity to test Beeney after
half an hour following a forward pass that released him in behind the
Chelsea defence, however his low drive was a couple of feet wide of the
far post. Ali warmed Ward's hands with a free-kick as Edwards' side went
in with a slender lead at the break.


== Second half ==


The Royals started the second period strongly and, following a spell of
early pressure, they restored parity in the game after seven minutes.
Sheppard received a pass from Novakovich 25 yards from goal and he arrowed
a good effort into the bottom corner.


The goal gave the visitors confidence to continue imposing themselves on
the game and, after 62 minutes, they had completed the comeback.
Novakovich, lurking dangerously on the shoulder of the last defender,
received a forward pass and advanced towards goal. His feinted shot took
Grant and Beeney out of the game and the forward was left with the simple
task of finding the back of the net.


Chelsea responded to falling behind just as Reading had in the first half
as Sammut's header from a left-sided corner thumped the crossbar with Ward
beaten.


The game was now more open than it had been all morning, and Sheppard went
close to extending the visitors' lead with a low shot across goal that
whistled inches wide.


The action became end-to-end in the final 10 minutes but neither side
could add to the goalscoring as Ward saved from Adamczyk and then
substitute Ike Ugbo, while Novakovich worked Beeney down the other end.


The youth team play the final game of their regional league programme next
Saturday 28 February as Tottenham visit Cobham. Before then, Adi Viveash's
Under-19s resume their UEFA Youth League campaign on Wednesday 25 February
against Zenit St Petersburg in the last-16. The game is being played at
Aldershot Town FC and entry is free to all spectators.
