PL2 Report: Arsenal 3 Chelsea 1

04 Feb 2022


Our development squad suffered another loss in the PL2 on Friday evening
despite Jayden Wareham opening the scoring for our young Blues.

The London derby followed a similar theme to a number of our games this
season, as despite creating the better of the chances, we ended up on the
losing side, making it three on the spin with nothing to show for our
efforts.


We started the game positively showing real hunger, and forcing our
opponents into early mistakes. Dion Rankine was isolating and beating his
defender at will.


As expected, it was from his side that we opened up the scoring with
Jayden Wareham finishing well after a Xavier Simons cross.


We were dealt a major blow as we could only hold onto our lead for 3
minutes. In identical circumstances to our goal, a cross from our right
side found an unmarked Zach Awe in the six-yard area as he headed home.


We created a number of chances to take the lead, first through Hall and
Rankine twice but could not make the pressure tell.

half


It was more of the same in the second half as we came out with intent, but
it was Arsenal who took the lead through Salah-Eddine Ouland. After
manoeuvring his way past his defender, he fired a shot which beat Lucas
Bergstrom.


A series of changes were made by Myers to alter the scoreline but with our
boys in search for an equaliser, Omari Hutchinson sealed the win for the
Gunners after a mazy run which saw him beat a number of defenders on his
way to scoring. It is another tough loss to take for our young Blues.


== Team News ==


Myers made a couple of changes from last week's 1-0 defeat to Manchester
City; calling on the services of Bergstrom in goal, Rankine, Wareham and
U23s debutant Dylan Williams.


== Starting fast ==


There was a good tempo set early on from our young Blues as Rankine's pace
was proving to be a thorn in our opponents. His drive and dink to the far
post had to be tipped over by the Arsenal shotstopper Hubert Graczyk.


Soon after, a wicked delivery from Xavier Simons found Wareham who powered
a header which beat the keeper but just missed the inside of the post.


After enduring some possession from the North London side, a fantastic
delivery from Rankine, who had been causing trouble, found Wareham who slid
the ball home expertly. A well-deserved lead.

== Lapse in concentration ==


Naturally after conceding, the home side were on the front foot. A couple
of good deliveries into the box were warning signs for our boys of
Arsenal's capabilities.


We failed to heed to those warnings as an unchallenged cross from the left
found Awe who headed into the goal without pressure.


== End-to-end ==


We responded with another effort as after two separate deflected strikes
from Rankine and Harvey Vale, Ben Elliot had a sighter which comfortably
found the arms of the keeper.


We had a great chance to take the lead again as Rankine once again was
finding joy on the right side of the pitch. After being released his
cutback found Hall but his right-footed shot was straight at Graczyk.

Dion Rankine threatened throughout the game


We were almost made to pay for that error. After a scramble in the box,
Biereth's instinctive shot left Bergstrom rooted to the spot but it kissed
the post as it dropped wide.


With the half ending, we spurned a three-on-three situation as Rankine
delayed unleashing a shot to trouble the Arsenal goal.


== Sharp start ==


The second half began with us in the ascendancy and we capped off our
early territorial dominance creating the biggest chance of the game yet.
Williams delivered a mesmerising cross which beat all the Arsenal
defenders and found Hall at the back post. With the goal gaping, Hall
blazed over. After that missed gilt-edged chance there was more
possession, but nothing clear-cut to signify our dominance.

== Major blows ==


On the hour, against the run of play, our young Blues suffered a major
blow as Ouland produced a fine bit of skill on the left-hand side of the
pitch and with no immediate pressure he fired goalwards, beating
Bergstrom.


The North London side almost secured their third as Biereth led a charge
down the right and after exchanging passes with Hutchinson he could only
shoot over the bar.


After a last push from our boys to equalise, it was the Gunners who scored
the next goal at the end of an amazing Hutchinson run, where he beat three
players and then finished well.
