FA Youth Cup report and video highlights: Chelsea 4 Leyton Orient 1

12 Dec 2021


Our young Blues faced no issues in dispatching Leyton Orient as we ran out
4-1 winners in Sunday afternoon's FA Youth Cup contest. Goals from Malik
Mothersille, Jude Soonsup-Bell, Silko Thomas and Derrick Abu were enough
to give us victory and safe passage into round four.

Chelsea scored four and could have had more, with Mothersille, Leo
Castledine, Thomas, Soonsup-Bell, Charlie Webster, and Edwin Andersson all
denied further goals as Ed Brand's side got their Youth Cup campaign up
and running in style. The young Blues will now prepare for a trip to
Vicarage Road as they play Watford in the next round.


== Team news ==


With Harvey Vale not available for selection, Alfie Gilchrist was
announced as captain of the side. The line-up saw a blend of players who
have been involved in the Under-18 Premier League as well as the Premier
League 2 competition.


== Superiority ==


The game began with our boys asserting their dominance over proceedings.
Webster whipped a left-footed effort towards goal and with the keeper
rooted it smacked the left-hand post.


The opening five minutes was played predominantly in the Orient half, as
we searched for the early goal in this one. Another opportunity was
created by our side with good work down the right which ended with Thomas
delivering a fine floated ball towards the back post. It found Mothersille
who planted his header onto the post.


Another chance was fashioned as good work in the middle by Webster and
Mothersille allowed the latter to be played in down the wing. The attacker
put in a delightful cross which found Soonsup-Bell but the keeper, with an
outstretched leg, made a fine stop.


It seemed like the right-hand side was going to be our route to goal as
again Thomas was given time and space to deliver a cross and once again
Mothersille was the man who got his head to it, this time heading over.


With the pressure proving far too much for Orient to contain, Mothersille
finally got his goal. Interestingly, the ball was delivered from the
left-hand side by Andersson, whose lovely cross was bundled home by
Mothersille.


== More goals ==


We doubled our lead in the 25th minute of the game following a period of
possession as Soonsup-Bell expertly finished beating the keeper at his
near post after a Lewis Hall cross.

Orient settled into the game but struggled to fashion any clear-cut
chances. There were a couple pot shots and an effort from a free-kick
which Adegoke collected easily.


We scored our third of the game courtesy of a fantastic Thomas effort.
After an intricate pass inside from Hughes, Thomas let the ball roll
across his body and smashed a left-footed effort into the roof of the net,
giving the keeper no chance.

== Chance after chance ==


Our young Blues started the second half with the same intensity as we
played the first and the exciting Thomas again delivered a great cross
which Castledine failed to make connection with. The ball fell to
Andersson who fired over from close range.


Five minutes later, Soonsup-Bell, after a clever dummy, beat his man and
broke through on goal. Unfortunately, his effort was straight at Orient
keeper Noah Phillips, who smothered the ball away.


Despite being comfortably ahead, Brand will have been frustrated with his
side's lack of clinical edge as another chance went begging. Andersson
latched onto a loose ball. He cut it back for Castledine but he
side-footed his effort over the bar.


Almost instantly, Orient grabbed a goal back and deservedly so for their
hard work. Their best player on the day Jephte Tanga arrowed a
right-footed shot into the bottom corner of the goal.


Orient showed good spirit and fight following their goal, putting our boys
under pressure but we finally did get our fourth of the game as substitute
Abu was on hand to head home from a left-footed Castledine cross.

We managed the game well as it ended 4-1, which sees us look forward to a
tie against Watford in the fourth round of the competition.
