RESERVE REPORT: CHELSEA 0 ARSENAL 2

Posted on: Mon 05 Mar 2012


== Summary ==


A disappointing afternoon for our reserve side, and though there wasn't
much to choose between the two teams, Arsenal left Cobham with all three
points simply down to the fact they were more clinical in front of goal.


Chuks Aneke gave the visitors the lead just before the half-hour mark when
he rounded Jamal Blackman to fire into an empty net, and though we did
have chances to equalise before the break, Emilio Martinez in the Arsenal
goal was equal to everything we threw at him.


There was a distinct lack of goalmouth action in the opening stages of the
second half, but the Gunners doubled their lead in the 75th minute when
Zak Ansah headed home from close-range to put the game out of our reach.


The result will be a learning curve for Dermot Drummy's young side, but
with a trip to Wolves to come next Monday, he will be looking for a
positive reaction.


== Team news ==


Jamal Blackman was restored to the starting line-up having missed the win
over Fulham through injury, while George Saville partnered Conor Clifford
in central midfield for the Blues. Islam Feruz played in just behind
Patrick Bamford who was playing as the central striker in a front-three,
flanked by Amin Affane and Lucas Piazon.


== First half ==


After a frenetic opening, Kyle Elbicilio almost opened the scoring for the
visitors in the sixth minute. His side-footed effort from outside the box
never looked to be troubling Blackman in the Blues goal, but the ball took
an unexpected bounce over the keeper's hand and hit the post.


A clever run from Piazon shortly after resulted in a Chelsea free kick on
the edge of the Arsenal penalty area, and Nathaniel Chalobah was very
unfortunate to see his curling effort dip narrowly wide.

A minute later, Piazon raced on to a wonderful Saville pass, before
cutting inside his man and teeing up the midfielder, but having timed his
run to perfection, Saville could only steer his shot wide of Martinez's
right-hand upright.


The Blues were certainly enjoying the better chances in front of goal, and
Chalobah came closest to breaking the deadlock when he rose highest to
meet Affane's free kick, but the Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez pulled off a
magnificent save to keep us at bay.


Martinez was soon called into action once again only moments later when he
parried a powerful left-footed Affane drive behind for a corner, but the
resulting kick was easily cleared.


Josh Rees came closest to opening the scoring for the visitors midway
through the half when his strike took a deflection and evaded Blackman
only to clip the post.


Arsenal took the lead in the 29th minute, however, when an intelligent
pass released Aneke, who rounded Blackman before calmly slotting home to
give Neil Banfield's side the lead, somewhat against the run of play.


As the Blues searched for an equaliser before the break, Piazon put
Bamford through, but there was too much weight on the pass and the striker
struggled to get his shot away, while at the other end, Nathan Ake was on
hand to prevent the Gunners from doubling their advantage when Serge
Gnabry was allowed to run unchallenged from wide on the left.


== Second half ==


Lewis Baker replaced Affane at half time for the Blues, with the
substitute playing in the hole behind Feruz, while Bamford moved out to
play wide on the right.


The second half began with both teams enjoying plenty of possession
without creating any clear-cut opportunities.

Adam Nditi made a fantastic block to prevent Arsenal going further ahead
in the 56th minute, when Gnabry pulled back for Ansah, who fired goalwards
only to see the defender appear from nowhere to make the crucial
intervention.


The Blues were almost level five minutes later but, once again, Martinez
made a fantastic stop from a deflected Piazon strike that looked to be
dipping under the bar.


Both teams were lacking any efficiency in the final third, but when Todd
Kane lost possession deep in our half, Gnabry, who had been Arsenal's most
dangerous player, tested Blackman with a fizzing drive from outside the
box.


The game looked to be beyond Dermot Drummy's side, however, when Arsenal
increased their lead with just over 15 minutes remaining.


A surging run by the substitute Hector Bellerin saw him burst past Nditi,
and as Blackman came off his line to make the save, the ball fell into the
path of Zak Ansah whose header trickled over the line before the covering
Chalobah could clear.


The second goal forced Drummy into a double substitution, with Ismail
Seremba and Alex Davey replacing Bamford and Nditi respectively.


Arsenal's second goal appeared to galvanise them, and as the game wore on
it was the away side who looked most like scoring again, with Chalobah
making a clearance off the line from Gnabry whch would have put the game
to bed, before the referee blew the full time whistle.


Drummy was clearly frustrated at his side's performance, and felt we
suffered from a lack of creativity.


'I didn't think we were inventive enough,' he admitted. 'Arsenal were
organised and played on the counter attack, but with the amount of
possession we had we should have created more chances.


'We had some young players in the side and it's all experience for them.
When players come up against good opposition you have to have something
different, you have to stay in the game and we didn't.'
