Under-18s report: Chelsea 3 Aston Villa 1

26 Feb 2022


Our Under-18s ran out comfortable winners with early strikes from the
returning Jimi Tauriainen and from Ronnie Stutter, as well as own-goal
from the Villa keeper.

Ed Brand made a couple of changes from last week's loss to Fulham, most
notably the return to action for Tauriainen who had been out injured for a
number of weeks.


It was the perfect start for him as a quickly taken corner by Tauriainen
found Stutter who laid it back towards his team-mate. After a fine piece
of skill to beat the onrushing defender, Tauriainen curled a lovely
left-footed effort which found the bottom corner of the net. A nice
welcome back from injury for the Finnish player.

We doubled our lead minutes later as a Leo Castledine through ball found
Stutter who made no mistake about the finish, drilling low past the Villa
keeper.


We should have had a third to underline our dominance as Edwin Andersson
whipped in a corner from the left-hand side which flew over the keeper,
finding Josh Tobin at the back post, but he failed to convert with the
goal gaping.


With Villa failing to threaten, the young Blues piled on the pressure
seeking a third and after a long clearance from Ted Curd, he inadvertently
found Tudor Mendel-Idowu who did well to cut in and fire a left-footed
shot which brought out a fantastic save from keeper James Wright.

We did finally get our third and it came from a Tauriainen corner which
caught out the keeper and found its way into the net.


The second half started at a much slower tempo to the first and that could
explain why Villa were first to strike, as a momentary lapse in
concentration at the back allowed Harvey Rhoades to finish beyond Curd in
goal.


There were a few half-chances from both sides after that but nothing of
note as the game petered out with our young Blues comfortable for most of
the game.
