RESERVE REPORT: WEST HAM 2 CHELSEA 1
Posted on: Wed 24 Feb 2010
Chelsea's second string succumbed to an experienced West Ham side in
difficult conditions tonight.
The reserves came back from a one-goal deficit to equalise in torrential
rain, thanks to a Marko Mitrovic (pictured) strike, before conceding the
winning goal during the second half.
The Blues were without several reserve regulars while West Ham fielded
five players that travelled to Old Trafford only yesterday evening,
including Keiron Dyer and Junior Stanislas.
The last time these two teams met Chelsea secured a 4-1 win thanks to
goals from Alex, Daniel Sturridge and a Fabio Borini brace. None of those
players featured in tonight's fixture.
Instead the side, which began in a Christmas tree formation, included Josh
McEachran, Conor Clifford and Nemanja Matic in midfield. Jacob Mellis and
Milan Lalkovic sat behind Mitrovic, who led the attack in his first start
for the reserves.
The defence included Nana Ofori-Twumasi, who started brightly for the
Blues. First he broke down the right flank and launched a cross for Matic
before tracking back and intercepting a dangerous through ball into the
Chelsea box.
But it took only four minutes for the hosts to take the lead when Anthony
Edgar sprinted beyond the back line. He sent one shot towards Rhys Taylor,
which the keeper parried away, before following up on the loose ball and
calmly slotting home.
Chelsea retaliated to the opener with a succession of corners, all without
end product. The pressure was building for West Ham but they kept calm and
organised, catching Chelsea on the counter-attack.
It took until the 20th minute for Mitrovic to equalise on his starting
debut. Lalkovic collected off Mellis and dribbled down the left side
before sending a cross towards the near post where Mitrovic tipped over
the line.
West Ham came back with a couple of chances, but neither George Moncur's
drive at the near post or Ahmed Abdulla's sliding shot found the net. The
first half ended a goal apiece and there was one change before the second
got under way. Apart from the rain, which finally stopped, Matic made way
for Nikki Ahamed in midfield.
West Ham had the better of the first 10 minutes following the restart,
although neither side threatened either goal. It took until the hour mark
for a real chance to be created. Lalkovic stole possession from Dyer in
midfield and sent a 30 yard shot curling inches past the post.
Only a minute later, West Ham made it two. This time it was Olly Lee, who
cut inside of Liam Bridcutt to tap home a clinical Jordan Spence cross.
An unfortunate situation followed when Mellis was fouled and a scuffle
ensued. It ended with Manuel da Costa earning a red after hitting out at
our number 10, right in front of the referee.
Chelsea's best chance to equalise once more came when substitute Gokhan
Tore sent a ball skimming across the face of goal. Unfortunately a sliding
Mellis knocked the ball wide from close range.
It was a tough encounter for a young reserve side, facing an experienced
West Ham team, but overall an impressive performance from Chelsea's second
string.
