PL2 report: Blackburn 4 Chelsea 3

01 May 22


In a pulsating clash in Lancashire, a last gasp winner from Jack Vale gave
his side a 4-3 win over our development squad meaning that our place in
the PL2 comes down to our final fixture of the season against Tottenham
where only a win can secure our survival.

With both sides having chances to open the scoring it was our young Blues
who took the lead with Jayden Wareham scoring from the penalty spot after
Thierno Ballo was hauled down by Jared Harlock.

The home side's best opportunity came from our own doing as Dylan Williams
under pressure in the box with an attempted clearance almost volleyed into
his own net.


The Chelsea lead was almost doubled as Xavier Simons' header was cleared
off the line but following that sequence Blackburn ran down the other end
to draw level as Vale slotted calmly past Ted Sharman-Lowe.


Eight minutes later Rovers took the lead as Vale impressively weaved his
way past a number of challenges before finding the right finish to beat
Sharman-Lowe in goal.


It did not take long for us hit right back as Harvey Vale put in a
delightful cross which found the head of Ballo and he nodded past Felix
Goddard.

The duo combined again as Vale found Ballo whose finish past the keeper
gave us a deserved lead following intense pressure on the Blackburn
defence.

Rovers had a larger share of the possession in the second half, and they
were beginning to control proceedings as they searched for an equaliser.
It eventually came as Georgie Gent was fouled in the box by Josh Brooking
and the referee pointed to the spot.


Just as Wareham did, Vale put away the penalty securing his hat-trick and
drawing his team level once again.


Both sides had chances that could have given them the lead. For our
development squad Wareham had the best opportunity as he put an effort
wide of the post while in the penalty area.


A draw would not have changed much for Andy Myers' side as only a win
would secure survival and as we pushed for a winner we were caught late on
as Vale scored his fourth of the game giving his side the win.


As mentioned, this means that next week's fixture against Spurs is of
major importance as our development squad will need a win to ensure
survival.
