YOUTH REPORT: CHELSEA 2 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 7

Posted on: Tue 29 Apr 2014


== Summary ==


A side featuring 13 schoolboys, including eight Under-15s, lost at Cobham
as Tottenham confirmed their position as winners of the Under-18 League's
south division. George Brady had twice put Chelsea ahead but the young
Spurs fought back on both occasions and went in 3-2 up at the break,
before their older years proved decisive in the second period.


== Team news ==


With the game falling less than 24 hours after the FA Youth Cup final
first leg, Under-16s manager Joe Edwards took charge of the youth team for
the second time in four days, and there was just one scholar involved in
the squad as Brady began in defence. Three Under-16s in Ruben Sammut,
Mukhtar Ali and Kyle Scott made up the midfield trio, while Isaac
Christie-Davies and Faiq Bolkiah were the other representatives from the
older schoolboy age group.


The rest of the side was comprised of Under-15s as Jared Thompson
continued in goal, Trevoh Chalobah, Joshua Grant and Richard Nartey kept
their places in the back four, Ike Ugbo led the line up front and Jacob
Maddox came into the side on the right flank.


== First half ==


Chelsea started well and both Ugbo and Christie-Davies had efforts fly
narrowly wide inside the opening exchanges. Joshua Onomah shot over for
Tottenham before the young Blues took the lead after 12 minutes. Captain
Brady met Scott's deep cross from the right at the back post with a
powerful header as he netted his first goal of the campaign (pictured
above).


Filip Lesniak shot wide as Spurs responded strongly and the league leaders
were level midway through the half courtesy of Sheyon Harrison as the
striker finished confidently after Onomah's enterprising run down the left.


Chelsea had to defend maturely for periods but remained a threat
themselves and retook the lead after 36 minutes. Christie-Davies's corner
from the right was floated invitingly into the front post and Brady was
there again to head past Harry Voss in the visitors' goal.


However, the lead lasted just two minutes as Spurs reacted purposefully
once again. A good move involving Onomah and Nathan Oduwa fashioned a
sight at goal for Lloyd Ross and he finished beyond Thompson from close
range.


Tottenham were looking for a point that would see them confirmed as
winners of the south division of the Under-18 League and managed to take
the lead for the first time in the afternoon a few minutes before the
break. Connor Ogilvie turned supplier and Harrison followed Brady
(pictured below) in netting his second of the game as his effort squirmed
under Thompson and trickled over the line.

== Second half ==


Chelsea started the second period with a chance to level after great
interplay between Ali and Christie-Davies fashioned an opportunity for
Ugbo, though despite the striker's effort beating goalkeeper Voss it
lacked enough power and was cleared off the line by substitute Kyle
Walker-Peters.


Spurs responded by going up the other end and grabbing the game's sixth
goal. Ross did well to advance down the left flank and Harrison completed
his hat-trick with another neat finish. The visitors' power, fitness and
strength against opponents two or three years their junior was proving
increasingly significant and Thompson made an impressive double save from
Cy Goddard, before Harrison grabbed his fourth, finishing high and
powerfully.


Onomah then grabbed his goal following a quick break forward from the
visitors, before he netted a second a couple of minutes later. Another
Under-15 joined the action for the Blues late on as Harvey St Clair made
his youth team debut, while Maddox forced a good save from Voss and
Christie-Davies shot over as the young Blues continued to push forward
late on.


Next up for the Academy is the Under-21 play-off semi-final against
Manchester City this Thursday 1 May. Kick-off is at 7.15pm at the Etihad
Stadium and the game is being screened live on Sky Sports.
