Under-18s report: Chelsea 13 Brighton 0

Sat 18 Feb 2017


It was unlucky number 13 for Brighton as our Under-18s recorded a rout
without reply at Cobham.


Charlie Brown bagged four despite only coming off the bench for the final
half-hour, while Martell Taylor-Crossdale and Luke McCormick netted
hat-tricks of their own. Conor Gallagher had opened the scoring after 15
minutes, while Cole Dasilva and Harvey St Clair also found the back of the
net on an incredible morning for our youngsters.


Morris made five changes from our last league outing, a 3-0 win away at
Leicester last weekend that sealed the Under-18 Premier League south
section title. Marcin Bulka came in between the sticks behind a back three
of Marc Guehi, Richard Nartey and captain Josh Grant.


Dasilva and Juan Castillo lined up at right wing-back and left wing-back
respectively, while McCormick partnered Gallagher in central midfield.
Taylor-Crossdale led the line up front supported by Tariq Uwakwe and
St Clair.


The Blues were rampant in the first half, orchestrating relentless one-way
traffic that suffocated the visitors from the first whistle. Bulka's only
concern in the early stages was a deep cross from the right by Archie
Davies that clipped the top of the crossbar. In truth, the Polish keeper
had it covered, although it proved to be the most concerned he was all
morning.


Uwakwe came close to breaking the deadlock after 13 minutes, receiving a
clever pass from St Clair but firing straight at Tom McGill in the
Seagulls goal from the right. However, it didn't take long for the Blues
to open the scoring and Gallagher was both creator and finisher at the end
of a lovely move. The midfielder exchanged one-twos with both
Taylor-Crossdale and then St Clair before placing his low finish perfectly
inside the far post.


McGill was at his best to keep the deficit at one, expertly denying Uwakwe
and then Castillo as the hosts carved out opportunities freely. Yet he was
helpless to prevent the league's top scorer Taylor-Crossdale adding to his
tally for the campaign with a brace inside eight minutes.


His first was a poacher's finish at the near post, poking in St Clair's
low cross after the Scottish youth international had been afforded plenty
of space to deliver from the right byline. St Clair was the architect
again moments later, threading a neat pass forward in between the Brighton
centre-backs for the striker to race on to before a smart finish
underneath the onrushing goalkeeper.


It was quickly becoming a damage limitation exercise for the visitors but
the southern section champions added two more goals before the break.
McCormick grabbed our fourth with 36 minutes on the clock, taking a hit
from a wild kick in the box before stepping up to smash the penalty past
McGill.


St Clair made it 5-0 three minutes later, firing a powerful low drive
beyond the keeper's dive and into the bottom left corner. The winger then
fired against the post and forced another save from the goalkeeper as a
one-sided half ended with an emphatic scoreline.


Schoolboy defender Jon Panzo was introduced at the break but there was no
sign of letting up from the hosts as they grabbed another two goals within
10 minutes of the restart.


Dasilva got in on the act after 48 minutes, firing past McGill with the
aid of a deflection after Taylor-Crossdale had seen his pursuit for a
hat-trick thwarted with a good block. Uwakwe should have scored when he
fired over from close range and McGill made a good stop from Castillo
before Taylor-Crossdale completed his treble with another close-range
finish from a St Clair cross, taking his tally for the season to 19.


The intensity for goals did not relent despite the heavy scoreline and
Brighton's confidence had long been destroyed. McCormick added another
from the spot after Panzo was bundled over in the box before another
substitute, Charlie Brown, grabbed two of his own in five minutes.


Dasilva claimed the assist for the striker's first, fizzing a ball in from
the right that Brown nudged over the line with his chest, before the
17-year-old fired into the back of the net from 10 yards out after
advancing easily through the middle.


Every attack resulted in a clear-cut chance at goal for the hosts and
Brighton could barely put two passes together as the ball returned into
their 18-yard box with alarming regularity. McCormick and Brown completed
the rout by rounding off hat-tricks of their own late on, the former
finding the back of the net with a simple finish following a goalmouth
scramble and the latter steering home from close range before adding a
fourth by rounding the keeper and slotting in.


The win represented our biggest in recent memory and completes our home
fixtures in the regional programme. The final game is next weekend away at
West Ham before the start of the elite play-off round to determine the
national league champions.

Under-18s reaction: Team thirteen

Mon 20 Feb 2017


Our youth team recorded a huge win in the Under-18 Premier League at the
weekend, beating Brighton 13-0 on an incredible morning at Cobham on
Saturday.


It was the biggest victory a Chelsea academy side have registered in
almost 60 years as Charlie Brown grabbed four goals off the bench, while
Luke McCormick and Martell Taylor-Crossdale both netted hat-tricks
following single strikes from Conor Gallagher, Cole Dasilva and Harvey
St Clair.


The young Blues had already been confirmed as south section champions
following a win away at Leicester the week before, making such a rousing
performance all the more impressive. It was a victory that stretched their
unbeaten run in all competition to 21 matches and manager Jody Morris
praised the performance of a team which saw nine changes from their Youth
Cup quarter-final win earlier in the week.


'We're talking about a Brighton team that haven't lost since we beat them
away in November,' said Morris. 'They've beaten Tottenham and Arsenal
recently and drawn with West Ham so they're a good side.


'I'm really pleased not just for the scoreline but for the individuals who
came in from not playing in the Youth Cup earlier in the week. Their
attitude was first-class, as well as the technical and tactical side which
was excellent. The most pleasing thing for me was our work-rate and
intensity to try to win the ball back, it was the same at 10-0 as it was
at 0-0.'


Incredibly, Morris felt his side ought to have beaten the record 16-0 win
from 1959 with more composure and ruthlessness in front of goal.


'I'm not being flash or anything like that but we weren't very clinical in
front of goal,' he continued. 'The lads missed a hatful of chances in the
first half and we could have scored even more in the second. I've been
saying since the beginning of the season that if we click against the
right team then someone could be in for a hiding but it could have been
even more.'
