Under-21s report: Manchester City 3 Chelsea 2

Thu, 8 Jan 2015


Our Under-21s suffered league defeat at Hyde FC this evening (Thursday),
conceding a stoppage-time winner. Dominic Solanke had fired the young
Blues into a lead inside two minutes before an instant response from the
hosts as Brandon Barker's fierce drive flew in at the near post.


Manchester City turned the game around and took the lead midway through
the opening half as Thierry Ambrose finished off a neat move with a tidy
finish, although Solanke's second of the night in the 69th minute looked
like it had secured a point for the Blues. However, Patrick Vieira's side
weathered our best spell of the game in the final 20 minutes before
grabbing all three points in added time through substitute Bersant Celina.


== Team news ==


There were two changes from the side that started the Under-21s' last
league outing in mid-December, with Nathan Ake and Izzy Brown returning to
action. Ake joined Ruben Loftus-Cheek and captain Jordan Houghton in
midfield, while Brown joined Charly Musonda in providing the wide
attacking support for striker Solanke.


The back five were unchanged with Mitchell Beeney in goal protected by a
quartet of Fankaty Dabo, Ola Aina, Andreas Christensen and Jay Dasilva.
Four of the starting 11 have featured for Jose Mourinho's first team this
season.


== First half ==


Under-21s manager Adi Viveash spoke before the game about how the first
match back after the Christmas break can often be an open affair and it
exploded into life instantly, with goals traded inside the opening five
minutes. Chelsea took the lead after two minutes as Kean Bryan lost
control of the ball on the edge of his penalty area and Solanke pounced,
instantly firing into the net for his 16th goal of the season as the
goalkeeper desperately tried to scramble back into position.


The advantage was quickly snuffed out by Vieira's side. Barker advanced
dangerously and drove into the box before unleashing a fierce drive that
flew past Beeney at his near post to level the scores.


The game settled for the next 20 minutes with midfield taking centre
stage, although chances continued to come at both ends. Beeney had to be
quick off his line to deny Ambrose as the forward found himself in plenty
of space in the box, while Musonda had an opportunity to test Angus Gunn
in the home goal from a 25-yard free-kick but arrowed his attempt just
over.


The third goal of the game did arrive shortly after, the result of bright
approach play from City. Jose Pozo latched on to the ball following a weak
clearance and he threaded an excellent ball through to find Ambrose's run
in the inside-right channel. The wideman was not to be denied again,
holding off the challenge of Dasilva before firing into the far corner.


City attempted to slow the tempo of the game and take control once they
had the lead, though this was a half in which clear-cut chances continued
to be created at both ends, albeit with Beeney the busier of the two
goalkeepers.


The visiting stopper first denied Ambrose's close-range shot by tipping
the drive over the bar before then diving low to his right to push away
Barker's curling effort. Olivier Ntcham headed inches over from the
follow-up play, while Loftus-Cheek's powerful drive threatened for the
league leaders before the interval.


== Second half ==


Viveash made two changes at the break as centre-back Jake Clarke-Salter
and Jeremie Boga were introduced, with the Frenchman joining the attacking
quartet in the number 10 role. It was a quieter opening to the second
period than in the first half, though Chelsea settled over the first
quarter of an hour and then grew more threatening.


A key three-minute spell came midway through the half as Beeney made an
excellent stop to keep his side in the game and then Solanke levelled,
receiving Brown's pass before his deflected shot looped over the helpless
Gunn.


That set the scene for a tense finale as both sides felt they could snatch
all three points, with the Blues enjoying their best spell of the game.
Aina skewed a shot harmlessly wide at the back post after Dasilva's deep
cross and then Loftus-Cheek shot wide before the stoppage-time winning
goal. It came for the home side and was netted by substitute Celina, who
found space in the box to drive a low effort beyond Beeney.


Next up for the Under-21s is the visit of FC Porto in the Premier League
International Cup next Wednesday 14 January. Before that our youth team
continue in the FA Youth Cup on Tuesday 13 January as they host
Huddersfield Town in a fourth-round tie at Aldershot.

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
