FA Youth Cup report: Leeds United 0 Chelsea 2

Tue, 2 Dec 2014


Our Under-18s began the defence of the FA Youth Cup with a hard-fought win
at Elland Road this evening (Tuesday).


Izzy Brown converted a 20th-minute penalty after Tammy Abraham had been
upended in the box but in a game packed with chances, the young Blues had
to play the majority of the second period with 10 men after Bradley
Collins was sent off.


The goalkeeper was dismissed for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity
but the Cup holders defended strongly and Dominic Solanke grabbed a late
second goal to ensure victory and book a place in the fourth round.


== Team news ==


Five of the starters from May's second-leg final victory over Fulham began
as Joe Edwards, assistant to Adi Viveash in each of the previous three
campaigns, took charge in the competition for the first time. Those
starters included Stamford Bridge goalscorers Dominic Solanke and Charlie
Colkett, along with defenders Jake Clarke-Salter and Jay Dasilva and
midfielder Charly Musonda.


Collins started in goal behind a back four of Fikayo Tomori, Ola Aina,
Clarke-Salter and Dasilva. Colkett captained the side with Musonda and
Kyle Scott comprising the remainder of the midfield trio. Solanke led the
line up front supported by Izzy Brown and Tammy Abraham.


== First half ==


It was a lively and open start on a cold night in Yorkshire as both sides
carved out good opportunities to break the deadlock inside the first 10
minutes. Robbie McDaid warmed Collins' hands with a header, before
Solanke's low shot was deflected behind following Scott's delicate lofted
pass forward to the striker.


Leeds were handed a great chance after Aina's header back to his
goalkeeper proved too weak and Piteu Crouz looked to capitalise, however
Collins reacted quickly to sprint off his line and meet the danger,
ultimately making a good low save to his left that pushed the ball behind.


The Blues grabbed the lead after 20 minutes and it arrived courtesy of the
power and application of Abraham down the right flank. Receiving a driven
pass wide, the forward collected the ball and drove towards goal from the
touchline, shrugging off the challenge of Pearce along the way.


It appeared he had run the ball too far, however Jack Vann's late tackle
was a foul and the referee pointed to the spot. Brown stepped up from 12
yards and his powerful effort put the visitors ahead.


The goal ensured the contest remained stretched and the hosts had a string
of opportunities to level. Crouz fired over the bar before Collins made a
vital stop from the home skipper Frank Mulhern after his clever forward run
was picked out with an intricate pass from Adam Berry.


McDaid again threatened in the air with a header at the far post that
dropped narrowly wide, before Collins saved once more from Mulhern's
stinging low drive during a strong spell for Leeds.


Chelsea regained more control in the later stages of the half, but
Abraham's shot lacked the power to trouble Bailey Peacock-Farrell in the
Leeds goal and then Colkett struck the base of the post having been
afforded too much time and space on the edge of the penalty area.


== Second half ==


There was drama within a minute of the restart as Chelsea were reduced to
10 men. A long ball over the top of the Blues backline had McDaid and
Collins in a race and the striker proved quickest, beating the goalkeeper
to the loose ball. The referee awarded the foul and judged it be a red
card offence, despite Clarke-Salter appearing to offer some cover. Jared
Thompson came off the bench to fill in between the sticks and Mulhern's
effort from the resulting free-kick proved harmless. However the Blues
were faced with playing the bulk of the second period with a man down.


Thompson settled quickly and did well to deal with a series of dangerous
deliveries across the face of his goal, punching clear as Mulhern prepared
to head goalwards and then gathering comfortably from substitute Tyla
Bell's shot. Bell then turned provider as he fizzed a driven cross towards
McDaid, though the striker just couldn't reach with a flying header.


Edwards introduced midfielder Ruben Sammut to provide further midfield
discipline and defensive protection and his side worked hard to retain
their shape and keep Leeds at bay as the minutes ticked by, before a
second goal on the break settled the tie for the visitors.


Palmer did brilliantly to prevent a high ball from going out of play and
set the attack off. A good Colkett pass released Scott and the midfielder
timed his pass perfectly to find Solanke's run. The striker rounded
Peacock-Farrell and slotted the ball beyond three covering defenders and
inside the far post.


The two-goal cushion all but ended the Whites' hope and Solanke almost
grabbed a third as Palmer fashioned another opening, only for the
goalkeeper to react quickly and smother the danger. The Blues held strong
for the remainder of the contest and ensured the defence of their crown
got off to a good start.


== Manager reaction ==


Joe Edwards reflected after the game on his pride at the character and
endeavour shown by his players on a tough night in Yorkshire. Speaking to
the official Chelsea website, he said: 'We never really make it easy which
is why I think so many people at the club have fallen in love with this
competition over the years.


'We didn't start as sharply as we'd have liked but after the sending off
it took a lot of character and that was nice to see from the boys. I said
to Brad Collins after the game that he's made some important saves in the
first half and we're well aware we could have been really up against it if
it wasn't for those stops.


'It was about endeavour; we knew Leeds would be direct and put balls into
the box but we didn't want to just sit off after we went down to 10 men.
We kept two up top because we didn't want to invite pressure initially but
whatever tactics you employ, it's ultimately about the hard work of the
players tonight.'
