YOUTH CUP FINAL REPORT: ASTON VILLA 1 CHELSEA 1
Posted on: Thu 29 Apr 2010
A classy free-kick goal from Jeffrey Bruma gave Chelsea Under 18s a draw
they more than deserved from this opening 90 minutes of the two-legged tie.
The Dutch centre-back, the one player in the Blues side with first-team
experience, equalised with his third goal of the cup run to set up what
should be a thrilling second leg at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, a game
that will be exclusively live of Chelsea TV.
Our Academy players were clearly the better side at drizzly Villa Park,
knocking the ball about well across the damp turf in front of a crowd of
3,359. They hit the Villa woodwork no less than three times in the course
of the game and saw a shot cleared off the line. Yet it was the home team
who took a first-half lead and could have had another before the interval
but for a Sam Walker save.

Youth Cup
However Chelsea always looked likely to break through given the pressure
they mounted and the equaliser came midway through the second half. The
away-goals rule is not in operation in this competition.
It had been a settled side throughout the previous rounds with an
outstanding defence but a hamstring injury for Danny Mills Pappoe in
training this week meant the schoolboy centre-back, previously ever-
present in the run to the Final, missed out.
His place was taken by Rohan Ince, a natural replacement having returned
from a knee injury that kept him out of the first half of the season.
Ince was Bruma's partner in central defence in the Youth Cup last season
when he was still a schoolboy. At 6ft 3ins tall, he ensured Pappoe's
injury didn't mean Chelsea were losing out on height at the back.
The young Blues enjoyed plenty of early possession before the first shot.
Conor Clifford, who is never afraid to try his luck from distance, struck
one straight at the keeper.
The game then shifted up a gear when Josh McEachran sprayed a great pass
under pressure out to Gokhan Tore (pictured below) who feed and took a
return from Aziz Deen-Conteh. The Turkish Under 21 international used his
close control to beat a man before shooting low. The ball was deflected
behind for a corner.

Youth Cup
It was from the deadball delivery that Marko Mitrovic struck the bar with
a flicked near-post header. There were eight minutes played.
Ten minutes later came Villa's goal, scored completely against the run of
play. A corner, given away cheaply by Ince, was punched clear by Walker
but when it was clipped back in by Richard Blythe, Villa centre-back
Daniel Devine rose high above Mitrovic to loop a header over the stranded
Chelsea keeper. It was only the second goal the team had conceded in seven
cup games.
Chelsea were instantly back up the pitch hitting woodwork for a second
time. Mitrovic had bustled through a challenge in the box and when the
ball came McEachran's way on the edge of the area, his curled effort
slammed onto the bar and away to safety.
Deen-Conteh, bursting forward from left-back again, worked the keeper from
a tight angle after a flowing Chelsea move started again by midfield
string-puller McEachran.
It was Dermot Drummy's side continuing to play all the football but it
took Walker with his legs to prevent a second Villa goal when Kofi Posner
escaped the two centre-backs in a crowded spot.
Mitrovic was booked when the Chelsea centre-forward caught Blythe with his
arm as he challenged for a high ball.
Villa keeper Benjamin Siegrist then repelled a threat from Mitrovic and
McEachran after Billy Clifford's teasting ball towards his near post.
Bruma asked more questions with an excellent curling cross before half
time but at the interval Chelsea were still behind.
Drummy would surely have told his players to keep calm and just do what
they had been doing - the occasion not hindering their natural game.
The second half began in similar vein to the first - Chelsea on top and
probing for a genuine sight on goal. Ince did well to block off one Villa
attack before captain Conor Clifford drifted a 54th minute shot wide at
the other end.
Samir Carruthers made it one booking apiece with a bodycheck on the same
Chelsea player moments later, before a stretching Mitrovic just failed to
make contact with a Kaby cross.

Youth Cup
Chelsea were cursing their luck again on 63 minutes when Derrick Williams
slipped in the Villa area and McEachran pounced to tee up Mitrovic, but
Williams made it back to head a stinging shot off the line.
The Blues only had to wait another two minutes for their just desserts.
The home side conceded a free-kick 20 yards out in a central position that
meant a chance for Bruma. The curl on the shot from the Dutch Under 21
international was just enough to clear the wall and the dive of Siegrist.
On 71 minutes Chelsea made the first substitution of the game. Conor
Clifford, who had injury concerns in the weeks building up to this game,
was replaced by Lalkovic. The Slovakian sub played wide with Jacopo Sala
moving infield.
There could have been danger from the home team after Kaby (pictured below)
conceded a free-kick as Carruthers broke dangerously following a Bruma
mistake, but Carruthers wasted the set-piece shooting chance spectacularly.

Youth Cup
Then Villa sub Ansenio Halfhuid didn't make the most of another counter-
attack as Chelsea wobbled briefly inside the final 10 minutes.
The third time the away team hit the woodwork came with a minute of the 90
left, Sala this time the player denied. Villa had cleared a Tore free-kick
but only as far as McEachran who calmly laid off to the Italian for a
sweet strike from the edge of the area against the outside of the post.
There was a late injury for Deen-Conteh who had been excellent in defence
and as an attacking full-back. He limped away with a minute remaining
having fallen into advertising boards.
The final score was the same as the first leg of the Final in 2008 when
Chelsea eventually lost out to Manchester City.
Unlike two years ago, the second leg is at the Bridge and hopefully with a
good crowd backing them, a performance of similar quality to tonight will
see the Under 18s lift this trophy for the first time since 1961.
