YOUTH CUP FINAL REPORT: CHELSEA 2 NORWICH 3 (AGG 2-4)

Posted on: Mon 13 May 2013


== Summary ==


A Jeremie Boga goal within the first quarter of an hour looked to have put
the Blues in the ascendancy, but an own-goal and a penalty conceded before
the interval gave our Under-18s a difficult task to overcome.


Chelsea had chances in both halves, and Norwich keeper William Britt made
a couple of important interventions, but the defence of the FA Youth Cup
all but ended when the visitors scored on the break late in the second
half before Boga netted his second on the night.


== Team news ==


Adi Viveash made three changes from the side that narrowly went down 1-0
at Carrow Road in the first leg, with Adam Nditi and Andreas Christensen
returning from injury to start in defence, replacing Kevin Wright and
Nathan Ake, the latter remaining with the first team squad ahead of
Wednesday's Europa League final against Benfica. Ola Aina and Alex Davey
made up the starting back four, with Mitchell Beeney continuing between
the sticks.


The other change saw John Swift replace Charlie Colkett and he started the
game wide on the right with Alex Kiwomya on the left, Jeremie Boga in the
middle behind striker Islam Feruz. The visitors were unchanged from the
first leg.


== First half ==


Chelsea kicked off in front of an excellent 17,676 Stamford Bridge crowd,
shooting towards the Matthew Harding end, and earned the game's first
chance just a couple of minutes in. Swift's cutback from the right byline
was missed by Feruz but fell kindly to the advancing Loftus-Cheek, though
the midfielder's effort on his left foot was blocked before being
comfortably gathered by Britt.


Norwich, defending that first-leg lead, first had an opportunity from a
corner conceded by Aina, however the young Blues managed to deal with the
incoming aerial threat before Nditi found space down the left wing after
clever skill by Kiwomya to set him free. The left-back got too much power
on his final delivery and it evaded the lurking forwards.


The hosts were enjoying the best of the opening exchanges and possession
before the deadlock was broken within the first 15 minutes. Boga embarked
on a forward foray that was met with minimal resistance and the Frenchman,
invited to shoot, found the bottom corner impressively from 20 yards out.

It was just the start Chelsea needed, levelling the aggregate score at 1-1
to set the tie up enticingly. However the scores weren't level for long. A
short corner from the right wasn't dealt with early enough and Nditi
turned winger Joshua Murphy's near-post delivery past Beeney for an
own-goal.


That sent the travelling contingent of over 2000 into delight in their
corner of the Shed, though the visitors were quickly on the back foot as
Chelsea sought to regain parity in the tie. A high ball up to Baker in the
box fell for Kiwomya, though the first effort was well-blocked and his
second was poked narrowly beyond the far post.


The tone was set for the following few minutes as the hosts enjoyed a
strong spell, with Baker's right-footed free-kick pushed behind well by
Britt before Swift fired over from Aina's cross from the right after a
good move, also involving Loftus-Cheek. Feruz then dragged an excellent
opportunity wide after a perfect slide-rule pass through from Baker,
before the Blues skipper was called into more action down the other end.


Jacob Murphy had sped away after a neat ball over the top by King and
looked to have beaten Beeney before the intervention of Baker, who was
positioned ideally on the line to deny the visitors another goal.


Yet that third goal in the tie for Norwich did arrive shortly after, in
similar fashion to the solitary stoppage-time strike at Carrow Road 14
days previously. Davey conceded possession to King, who he then was judged
to have fouled inside the box to concede a penalty, which was duly
converted down low into the left corner by skipper McGeehan.

The remaining period of the half was filled with much Chelsea control but
little threat to Britt's goal, with Loftus-Cheek's header harmlessly over
the bar the most notable action.


== Second half ==


There were no changes in personnel from either side, though a few
positional tweaks were made by Viveash, including the switch of Kiwomya
and Swift on the flanks. Chelsea were in the ascendancy in the opening few
minutes and Feruz came close to turning Baker's cross-shot past Britt that
fizzed narrowly wide.


Aina then beat Josh Murphy down the right and pulled back a promising
cross for Baker, whose effort on the fall was turned round the post by
Britt, before Kiwomya dragged a shot wide after fashioning a decent chance
for himself.

What turned out to be a crucial point in the match arrived on the hour
mark after an inviting ball forward from Swift fed in Feruz one-on-one
with the goalkeeper. The Scotland Under-21 international attempted to
round the onrushing Britt but was thwarted by an intervening hand before
blasting his final effort off target with defenders on the line covering.
Good goalkeeping had denied the Blues again.


That missed opportunity seemed to galvanise the visitors, and their
supporters behind Britt's goal, as the skies darkened over west London.
Baker saw a free-kick chance fly over the bar before Murphy's simple run
in between the centre-backs was untracked and the Norwich winger managed
to force a decent save behind from Beeney.


Viveash shuffled his pack with three changes in just under 10 minutes,
switching to three at the back as he replaced Aina with Charly Musonda in
the 72nd minute. However it was Norwich creating the more promising
openings, with Randall firing wide from 30 yards after poor ball retention
at the back from the Blues.


The Canaries grabbed a killer third goal on the night when Jacob Murphy
weaved into the box and fed his twin brother for a simple tap-in from a
couple of yards. The Youth Cup was leaving Stamford Bridge for Carrow Road.


As Chelsea searched for an unlikely comeback gaps were left at the back,
with the pace and trickery of the Murphy twins a constant headache on the
break. Davey blocked Jacob Murphy's goal-bound shot while Musonda managed
to track back and made an excellent saving challenge.


As the game headed towards its conclusion the Blues did manage to grab a
consolation, Boga instigating a delightful move in the final third before
finishing from close range after Musonda had supplied from the right.
However it was too little, too late for Viveash's boys to kick-start
another comeback.


Norwich held on for their first Youth Cup win since their only previous
triumph in 1983.
