Under-21 report: Chelsea 5 Norwich 0

Tue, 23 Dec 2014


Our Under-21 side ended the year on a very positive note as they beat
Norwich with a five-star display this afternoon (Tuesday) in the Premier
League International Cup.


Alex Kiwomya's brilliant volley gave the hosts the lead midway through the
opening half but it was a second-half full of quality that gave the
scoreline a festive gloss.


Norwich defender Adel Gafaiti sliced Kiwomya's cross into his own net
minutes after the restart before Boga curled in a fine free-kick to settle
the contest. Dominic Solanke added a brace late on to ensure the Academy
ended the year in style.


== Team news ==


There were nine starters between both sides who played a part in the FA
Youth Cup final between the two teams in 2012/13, with Chelsea
representatives Mitchell Beeney, Charlie Colkett, Alex Kiwomya, John Swift
and Jeremie Boga. The Canaries had four involved including two goalscorers
from when they won the trophy 18 months previously; former Chelsea Academy
defender Cameron McGeehan and forward Josh Murphy.


Beeney was protected by a back four of Fankaty Dabo, captain Jordan
Houghton and first-year scholars Jake Clarke-Salter and Jay Dasilva.
Colkett, Swift and Boga formed the midfield trio while Dominic Solanke led
the line up front supported from out wide by Kiwomya and Kasey Palmer.


== First half ==


It was a lively and feisty opening on a mild December afternoon at AFC
Wimbledon as both sides looked to gain an early foothold in the game. Josh
Murphy had the first sight of goal after a few minutes but his free-kick
effort was straight at Beeney, before Palmer's powerful but rising drive
from 25 yards flew narrowly over Declan Rudd's bar.


A deep free-kick from Palmer from the left caused problems as Houghton met
it at the back post and headed across goal, however the young Canaries
just about dealt with the danger and cleared to safety.


They were unable to prevent Chelsea taking the lead midway through the
half as Dasilva advanced down the left flank and delivered a brilliant
cross towards Kiwomya. The forward watched the flight of the ball expertly
and displayed perfect technique with the volley and smashed it beyond a
helpless goalkeeper.


Palmer was involved in much of our best play and the goal buoyed Viveash's
side into their best spell of the half. Palmer's low drive towards the far
post fizzed just wide before the midfielder won a dangerous free-kick 20
yards out. Swift stepped up and flighted it towards the top corner with
Rudd beaten, though a slight deflection off the wall was enough to save
the visitors.


Norwich remained a threat and were looking to get in behind as they broke
quickly, though Houghton and Clarke-Salter were aware of the danger and
dealt with it well. Murphy attempted an audacious lob that looped just
over the bar with one such attack.


== Second half ==


It was a bright restart and Palmer almost doubled the advantage after 30
seconds with a wonderful individual run forward, though his low effort
across goal trickled agonisingly wide. A minute later the two-goal cushion
was secured, though it arrived in slightly fortuitous circumstances as
Kiwomya's cross from the right was hooked into his own net by Adel Gafaiti.


Murphy continued to carry Norwich's greatest attacking threat and brought
a good stop from Beeney after 54 minutes, but it was the home side in the
ascendancy and a third goal was added 10 minutes later. Boga had
threatened moments before with a dead-ball shot, bent just beyond the far
post, however he made no mistake moments later.


A typical mazy run came to an abrupt end as Reece Hall-Johnson brought the
Frenchman down on the edge of the box. Boga picked himself up and curled a
beautiful free-kick into the top corner beyond the despairing dive of Rudd.


Dabo then went close after a quick break forward and some excellent play
from Kiwomya and Boga, before Solanke got his first goal in the 74th
minute, capping another flowing move that started with Houghton's super
cross-field pass out to Kiwomya on the right flank. The forward delivered
an inviting low cross for the striker and he provided the close-range
finish.


There was still time for a fifth goal to be notched in the final minute of
normal time. Solanke, hard-working and industrious as ever, chased a long
ball forward and capitalised on a mistake by substitute Michee Efete to
notch his 14th goal of the campaign.


The Under-21s move to top of Group A in this International Cup
competition, with a final group game against FC Porto to come in January.
The Academy now breaks for the festive season, with the Under-21s next in
action on 5 January away at Liverpool.


== Manager reaction ==


Adi Viveash reflected after the game on an excellent display and praised
his young team's efforts as they went top of their group in the
competition. Speaking to the official Chelsea website, he said: 'It was a
fantastic performance with quite a young team so we're very proud. There's
obviously a bit of history between the clubs at this level and quite a few
of us in that dressing room went through a really difficult experience
against them at Bridge a couple of years ago.


'We competed well, scored some great goals and in the second half it was a
ruthless performance but we defended really well as a team too. We had
four Under-17s on the pitch at the end who are part of Joe Edwards' youth
group and have been doing really well and they showed me that they want to
become part of this group.


'It was an outstanding performance from Kasey Palmer, the best we've seen
from him. It was also nice to see Alex Kiwomya score one and make one with
a great cross. He's had a bitty start to the season but he's someone with
a wonderful attitude and a player I really enjoy coaching as he wants to
get better.


'On top of that, Dominic's movement was of the highest level and we're
pleased to end the year with a result and performance like that. You don't
achieve anything for being top of the league at Christmas or for being top
in certain groups but we have a lot to look forward to now in 2015.'
