YOUTH REPORT: CHELSEA 3 PORTSMOUTH 2
Posted on: Sat 07 Nov 2009
Chelsea's Under 18s side secured another home win at a chilly Cobham today
as they saw off visitors Portsmouth.
Goals came from Bobby Devyne, Billy Knott (pictured) and Aliu Djalo as
Chelsea put ourselves back in the lead following a Portsmouth equaliser in
the first half.
Despite the final score however, the game was a fairly uneventful affair
and the Blues struggled to compete with a tough Pompey performance.
It took 19 minutes for the deadlock to be broken when some beautiful
football from Chelsea left the Portsmouth defence confused, giving Knott
time to send a cross skimming along the line for a determined Devyne to
slide onto, tapping in with ease.
Within four minutes Portsmouth had equalised. James Jannings leapt high to
head a dangerous cross beyond the line at the far post while Chelsea
keeper Aldi Haxhia could only watch.
The half would finish in Chelsea's favour when Deen-Conteh made a
productive run down the left flank to win a corner. The subsequent ball
was sent in by Anton Rodgers for Marco Mitrovic to try and head.
When his attempt was blocked the ball span out to Knott who smashed home a
trademark left-footed strike which ricocheted off the Portsmouth defence
and into the goal. It is the fourth game running Knott has scored in.
Dermot Drummy made two changes at half time, replacing Mitrovic with
Philipp Prosenik and Rodgers with James Ashton.
Further into the half Nathaniel Chalobah (fresh from an England Under 17s
qualification tournament) made his Under 18 debut replacing Tom Hayden in
the back line.
But despite the changes, the second half didn't see much activity as the
two midfields battled for possession.
It wasn't until the 68th minute that Chelsea would increase the lead and
this time it was captain Djalo finding the net.
Knott had released a cross destined for Prosenik, but when the ball was
blocked it fell to Djalo just inside the box. He expertly drilled home a
shot into the bottom right.
Devyne and Knott then had chances, feeding off balls from Ashton and Deen-
Conteh respectively, but it was Portsmouth who would score the final goal.
With 78 minutes played, Pablo Navas launched a wonder strike past Haxhia
from 25 yards out, beating the Chelsea keeper who could only watch as the
ball hit the net.
The Blues immediately retaliated when Deen-Conteh broke once again,
curling a cross towards the far post where Prosenik connected cleanly.
Unfortunately he only managed to head into Tommy Smith's hands between the
Pompey posts for the last chance of the game.
'A 3-2 win in terms of the table keeps us up there,' said Drummy after the
game, 'but I'm not happy, we can play better than that.
'It wasn't the standard we have been setting this season and fortunately
the opposition let us into the game a little, Billy Knott did play well
though.'
