Under-21s report: Tottenham 4 Chelsea 5

Mon 11 Jan 2016


Chelsea Under-21s claimed the victory in an end-to-end contest at
Stevenage courtesy of a dramatic stoppage-time winner.


The Blues were 1-0, 3-1 and 4-2 in front before being pegged back to 4-4
with two minutes remaining. Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori had netted in
the first half either side of a strike from Shaquille Coulthirst to give
us a 2-1 lead at the break.


An end-to-end second period followed as Kasey Palmer made it 3-1 shortly
after the restart before Coulthirst pulled another goal back. Jay
Dasilva's brilliant bending strike looked to have settled the contest at
4-2 before a brace from Andros Townsend appeared to have stolen two points
from the visitors. However, Jake Clarke-Salter (pictured above) drilled an
effort into the bottom far corner in the third minute of added time to
settle an unbelievable game.


Adi Viveash made two changes from the side that were narrowly beaten at
Southampton in the Under-21 Premier League Cup five days previously.
Tomori and Dasilva were the returning pair, both in defence, joining
Clarke-Salter and Fankaty Dabo in providing the protection for goalkeeper
Bradley Collins at the back.


The five ahead of the back four was unchanged as Abraham continued to lead
the line up front supported by Charly Musonda, Palmer and Reece Mitchell.
Captain Charlie Colkett partnered Mukhtar Ali in central midfield.


Spurs included England international Andros Townsend among their starting
line-up. The 24-year-old was one of seven starters for the hosts in the
Under-20 age group or older, compared to just two for the Blues.


The opening quarter of an hour was a fast-paced affair but with few
clear-cut chances fashioned at either end. The visitors were unable to
convert a number of corners into a genuine threat to Thomas Glover's goal,
however the league encounter soon exploded into life with three goals in
five minutes.


It was the Blues celebrating the opener after 18 minutes as Abraham
grabbed his 18th goal of the season in typically predatory fashion.
Mitchell capitalised on a loose ball out of defence down the Chelsea right
flank and advanced to the byline before delivering a perfect low centre
for Abraham to prod into the back of the net.


Tottenham were level after just three minutes as Anthony Georgiou's cross
from the left found Coulthirst in the box and the striker's looping header
floated over the stranded Collins and nestled into the top corner of the
net.


Yet Viveash's side found themselves back in front two minutes later as the
topsy-turvy opening spell continued. Colkett's inswinging corner from the
right was intelligently headed back across goal by Clarke-Salter and his
centre-back partner Tomori was on hand to nod beyond Glover from close
range to net his first goal since signing as a scholar in July 2014.


The hosts continued to cause problems as Townsend drilled a free-kick just
wide of the far post before Tomori blocked bravely from William Miller. In
the final action of the half, Coulthirst blazed an effort just off-target
at the near post as the Blues went in with a slender advantage at the
interval.


That advantage was extended just two minutes after the restart as Abraham
found the supporting Palmer on the edge of the six-yard box. The
19-year-old took his time before producing an expert low finish to place
the ball beyond the dive of Glover into the bottom corner and notch his
10th goal of the campaign.


Substitute Alex Kiwomya fashioned a chance to make it four moments later
as he raced clear down the right channel but his rising drive failed to
trouble Glover. The home goalkeeper then saved well from Mitchell, who had
switched to the left flank following the half-time introduction of
Kiwomya, gathering the wideman's fierce shot at the second time of asking.


Down the other end, Tottenham reduced the deficit with 19 minutes
remaining as Coulthirst latched on to skipper Milos Veljkovic's forward
pass before finishing emphatically past Collins to set up a grandstand
finale.


Colkett was inches away from settling the contest with an effort that flew
just over following brilliant play from Palmer down the right, before the
contest had its pivotal sixth goal after 81 minutes. It came for the
visitors and was worthy of winning any contest as Dasilva cut inside from
the left and curled a wonderful strike into the top corner.


However, there was time for more late drama as the hosts struck twice
inside two minutes to seemingly snatch a late point. Townsend was the man
who appeared to have come to their rescue, firing a penalty past Collins
after Tomori had brought down substitute Cy Goddard, before finishing
emphatically from the right in the 88th minute.


That would have ended any ordinary encounter but this was proving anything
but an ordinary evening in the Under-21 Premier League and so it proved
when Clarke-Salter's low finish beat Glover in the third minute of added
time to hand the Blues all three points and back-to-back league wins for
the first time this season.

Under-21s reaction: Commendable character

Tue 12 Jan 2016


Chelsea Under-21s moved up three places in the Under-21 Premier League
last night after a thrilling, last-gasp victory over Tottenham.


The young Blues had led 1-0, 3-1 and 4-2 before the hosts levelled the
game at 4-4 in the 88th minute. However, there was stoppage-time drama at
the end of a lively encounter as defender Jake Clarke-Salter found the
back of the net in the 93rd minute to ensure Adi Viveash's side went home
with maximum points.


After the game, Viveash praised the attacking performance of his team as
they recorded back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.
Speaking to the official Chelsea website, he said: 'Some of our attacking
play was fantastic tonight.


'We got good numbers into the box and that showed with the goals we
scored. It's great for us that three defenders have got on the scoresheet
and also that we've managed to score from a set-piece because we should be
more of a threat from them.


'With 20 days now until our next league match, it was so important for us
to pick up a positive result. It's a competitive league and when you see
the other results tonight it makes our victory all the more important.
We've still got three or four games to catch up on some teams so it's not
really worth looking too much at the league table yet but of course it's
important for the belief to see us moving upwards.


'We're still unbeaten in the league away from home and that's important
because our next game is away at the league leaders Sunderland, which will
be extremely tough.'


The manager admitted his side struggled for spells to take hold of the
game in midfield, which prompted his half-time switch to bring Charly
Musonda into a deeper role alongside Charlie Colkett,


'I thought our press was really good in the first half; we forced them
into real issues but I just wanted us to show a bit more composure. I
didn't feel like we had control of the midfield, which is why I made the
change at half-time. The first 15 minutes of the second half was probably
the most control we had in the game and we went 3-1 up in that time as
well.


'We're disappointed with the goals we've conceded. Their second was
similar to the one we conceded at Southampton last week where the striker
rolled in between both centre-backs and that's an area we need to look at.


'The penalty is a decision that Fikayo Tomori, who had an outstanding
game, mades to go to ground and hopefully the development side of it is
that he doesn't make that mistake next time. Then we made a poor error in
possession to give the ball away for the fourth goal when we didn't need
to be chasing forward. Andros Townsend punished us with a great finish.


'I have to commend my players though because they still felt they could
win the game. We had two good chances before the goal and then Jake
produced a very good centre-back's finish inside the box late on. The boys
were delighted at the end and rightly so.'


The Blues have now recorded three victories from their past four league
games and leapfrogged Norwich City, Middlesbrough and Southampton in the
Division One table after the win at Stevenage.


'It's a massive three points and that will add to the growing belief in
the group,' Viveash continued. 'We've scored the goals that we've
threatened to score in the last three or four games.


'We know we have found scoring goals a little difficult this season but we
could have had 10 and that, along with the character we showed, was the
biggest positive to take from the game. We showed massive character at 4-4
to go and score again; I don't think many teams could have won the game
from there.'
