PL2 report: Chelsea 3 Man United 1

Fri 9 Dec 2016


Our development squad won their final league encounter of the calendar
year to move fifth in the Premier League 2 table this evening (Friday).


Manchester United, managed by their former midfielder Nicky Butt, took the
lead early on as Axel Tuanzebe's header beat goalkeeper Bradley Collins,
before the Blues responded with interest. Fikayo Tomori hit the post, Jay
Dasilva saw a penalty saved and Dujon Sterling equalised all in the first
half, before goals from Josimar Quintero and Jacob Maddox after the
restart sealed all three points for the hosts.


There were three changes from the Blues side that started last time out, a
2-1 victory over Feyenoord in our Premier League International Cup opener
last week. Sterling was one of the trio to return as Adi Viveash reverted
to a 3-4-2-1 system, with the 17-year-old and Dasilva operating as
wing-backs.


Fankaty Dabo, Trevoh Chalobah and Tomori lined up as the three
centre-backs in front of goalkeeper Collins, while Ike Ugbo continued to
lead the line up front after four goals in eight league starts. Kyle
Scott, Quintero, Mason Mount and Marco van Ginkel started in midfield, the
latter pair in the more advanced central positions.


Both sides came into their final league outing of the calendar year having
developed reputations as draw specialists, with 11 stalemates between them
in 22 matches so far this term. However, it was a lively opening to
proceedings on an unseasonably mild evening at Aldershot, which it was
announced this week would remain the home of our development teams into
the 2017/18 season.


Scott and United's Sean Goss fired respective efforts wide in the first
moments of the game before Regan Poole made a crucial block to deny
Chalobah as the defender struck towards goal from the edge of the 18-yard
box.


United grew stronger as Sterling was forced to clear Matthew Olosunde's
dangerous delivery before Collins fumbled a corner and was left relieved
when he managed to knock the loose ball behind. However, the 19-year-old's
relief did not last long as the visitors took the lead from the following
corner. Goss's inswinging ball from the right caused problems and Tuanzebe
arrived on cue to head the ball into the corner of the net.


Our response was a positive one and Tomori came close to equalising with a
low shot from 20 yards that thumped the far post and bounced away to
safety. The Blues were level moments later and it was Sterling wheeling
away in celebration after his second goal in as many games. Mount had
found Ugbo with a clever forward pass and the striker did well to hold off
a challenge and tee-up the supporting Sterling, who steered the ball
beyond Kieron O'Hara with a deflected left-foot effort.


There was an opportunity to edge ahead eight minutes before the interval
as Matthew Willock's clumsy challenge sent Mount tumbling as he advanced
into the box. The referee pointed to the spot without hesitation and
Dasilva stepped up but was thwarted as O'Hara dived to his right and
parried the ball away.


Ugbo forced O'Hara into another save from the left and Quintero's curling
strike flew narrowly wide before the hosts picked up from where they had
left off after the restart and made it 2-1 after 52 minutes. A brilliant
direct run down the left from Dasilva took several defenders out of the
game before the wing-back pulled the ball back cleverly for Quintero,
whose precise left-foot strike nestled into the bottom corner.


Ugbo came within inches of converting Dabo's terrific cross but a minor
deflection took the ball away from the striker's reach. The Blues came
into the game having drawn more matches than any other side in the league
in 2016/17 and so there was an understandably strong desire to see the
game out. Following a frantic first half with chances down both ends, the
second period was a tamer affair as Viveash urged his players to take care
of possession and not risk being caught on the break.


Neither goalkeeper was seriously tested until the final minute of the game
when a series of Chelsea corners brought the game's fourth goal. United
struggled to clear the danger and Maddox was the man on hand to spin and
rifle a low finish into the corner to seal the points and extend our
unbeaten run in all competitions to seven games.


Our youngsters return to Aldershot as we begin our FA Youth Cup defence
against Cardiff City next Tuesday 13 December. The young Blues have won
the competition in each of the last three years. Before then, we host
Norwich City at Cobham tomorrow (Saturday) in a game screened live on
Chelsea TV. Kick-off is at 12.05pm.

PL2 reaction: Halfway highlight

Sat 10 Dec 2016


Our development squad once again came from behind to win last night as a
3-1 victory over Manchester United in Premier League 2 saw them rise into
fifth place in the table.


Goals from Dujon Sterling, Josimar Quintero and Jacob Maddox helped us
secure all three points and manager Adi Viveash reflected afterwards on a
performance that he ranked as one of the standouts of the campaign to date.


'It's always good to beat Man United because they are the champions at
this level from the last two seasons and so they are a big scalp,' Viveash
told the official Chelsea website. 'It was probably our best performance
of the season considering the opposition and how they started the game.


'We were a bit concerned after 15 minutes because they matched up against
us with their shape and we weren't expecting that but we made a couple of
adjustments that changed things for us. I decided to start with Mason
Mount a little deeper because we felt he could get us through their block
quickly but we struggled to get him on the ball so we changed that and it
seemed to spark us into life.'


Mount's more advanced role played its part in our equaliser after half
hour, with the midfielder's incisive forward pass releasing Ike Ugbo down
the right channel. The striker held the ball up strongly before supplying
Sterling to finish left-footed from close range.


'The technical element of the goals really pleased me,' Viveash continued.
'Mason's reverse pass for Dujon's goal was excellent and then Jay
Dasilva's part in the second goal was sensational play, wriggling out of
trouble to pick out Josimar. We deserved the third goal too but I was also
pleased with how we defended at 2-1 because we did have a period where we
started to lose possession and hand them momentum, which did concern me.'


The result stretched our unbeaten record in all competitions to seven
matches and rounded off our league campaign for 2016 in a positive,
stylish fashion.


'It's a system that does enable us to score goals and we're actually
unbeaten all season playing with three at the back. We defended well
again, put in some really good blocks and tackles, and kept the ball in
their half.


'It was an excellent win. It's been a really positive first half of the
season in the league and to only have lost two games with the youthfulness
of the side is a good achievement. It's true that we have drawn a lot of
games but we have also been away to the top four already so I'm very
pleased with the efforts of the players.'


The development squad have two final matches this month before they pause
for a Christmas break, hosting Dinamo Zagreb and then Swansea City in the
Premier League International Cup.
