Brighton Youth 2 Chelsea Youth 1
Tuesday, Jan 17, 2006
Chelsea have exited this year's FA Youth Cup at the fourth round stage
after a disappointing evening on the south coast.
The attraction of a Chelsea side drew over 4,000 people to the converted
athletics arena that is Brighton's Withdean Stadium and the home club's
Under 18 side responded with a determined display that Chelsea's young
players could not match. A virtuoso goal by Scott Sinclair levelled the
scores after Brighton had taken a shock early lead but Chelsea fatally
conceded again before half-time had even arrived.
There was a blow to Chelsea before the game when centre-back Michael
Mancienne was ruled out because of the hamstring strain he had suffered
at the weekend. Captain Jack Cork dropped back from midfield to fill the
vacancy but it was a poor start to the game by his team.
Nick Hamann in goal needed to save in the very first minute from Joe
Gatting and within five minutes, the home side had gone into a one-goal
lead. Brighton centre-forward Gatting was on hand to power forward and
find the net after a missed clearance by centre-back Harry Worley.
Chelsea could have equalised just a minute later but Jack Watkins' shot
was too soft after good work from Shaun Cummings. Brighton's Tommy Fraser
cleared off the line.
Chelsea didn't need to wait much longer for the equaliser. Sinclair,
playing on the left of the front three set-off 40 yards from goal, beat
the Brighton defence with sheer pace and placed his shot wide of Sullivan.
Arjen Robben would have been hurdling hoardings had he scored such a
wonderful goal. It was the highlight of Chelsea's night. Just nine minutes
were on the clock.
Sinclair shot low again on 20 minutes, the ball forced out for a corner by
Sullivan, but Chelsea were not dominating possession as they would have
wished. The strongly-built Gatting, son of former Brighton player Steve,
was continuing to prove a handful.
Big questions will be asked of the rearguard after the manner in which
Brighton went ahead again on 21 minutes. Worley missed a header to allow
the Seagulls to win a corner. Keeper Hamann completely missed the corner
kick when it came over and after a almighty goalmouth scramble that saw at
least two clearances off the line, Dan Leach forced the ball in.
It took until nine minutes from the break for Chelsea to threaten again.
Sinclair was again the danger, his prod goalwards tipped round the post by
Sullivan. A good double save by Hamann kept Brighton out as half-time
approached.
James Simmonds curled a free-kick just wide as Chelsea looked to step-up a
gear in the second-half but it took until midway through the period before
Brendan Rodgers' youngsters opened Brighton up at the back.
Substitute Fabio Ferreira received Simmonds clever ball and found Cummings
in the centre. The Chelsea striker turned but Sullivan was very quickly
out to him and beat the shot away from close range.
Chelsea escaped further punishment with 14 minutes remaining when Gatting
crashed a header against the crossbar from a corner. Chelsea's Liam
Bridcutt was booked for a lunge at Scott Chamberlain that sparked a mass
confrontation. The Brighton player also saw yellow.
Time was running out as Chelsea broke quickly from the back. The ball was
worked forward via Cork, Cummings and substitute Jonas Elmer but Sinclair
sidefooted the chance just wide.
Brighton's Hinshelwood was then booked for blocking off a Sinclair run and
in injury time, Simmonds became the second Chelsea booking as the game
ended in a messy fashion.
