RESERVE REPORT: WEST BROMWICH ALBION 4 CHELSEA 5
Posted on: Wed 20 Oct 2010
Captain Fabio Borini netted an amazing five times to bring Chelsea back
from 3-0 down on a cold afternoon in Birmingham.
A nine-goal thriller saw an Ishmael Miller hat-trick put Chelsea on the
back foot before Borini pulled two back in the first half. A further
second-half hat-trick from the Italian then secured the Blues victory
after the side went 4-3 down after the break.
Manager Steve Holland chose three debutants in his back line as Todd Kane,
Archange Nkumu and Ben Sampayo all lined up alongside Rohan Ince, who
would later be replaced by George Saville for today's fourth first-time
reserve appearance.
Borini sat in the centre of an attacking trio including Jacopo Sala on the
right and Adam Phillip on the left. Meanwhile, Conor Clifford, Daniel
Philliskirk and Aliu Djalo made up the midfield.
It was a slow start to the game for Chelsea, as we conceded a corner in
the opening seconds. Walker was tested twice inside the opening 10
minutes, first smothering a Romaine Sawyers chance and then denying the
number 9's second attempt by deflecting onto the bar.
Chelsea retaliated with Borini forcing an acrobatic save from West
Bromwich keeper Ryan Allsop after feeding off a Philliskirk ball. Minutes
later the Italian won a corner when he volleyed a Kane cross goalwards.
But the hosts took the lead when, with 22 minutes played, Miller stole
possession from Walker and tapped in from close range after the Chelsea
keeper fumbled an earlier shot on target.
Within seconds of the restart West Brom's number 10 had made it two after
chesting down a cross from the right flank and coolly striking into the
net with his right foot.
It was a bad start for the Blues, one that was about to get worse when
Miller netted his hat-trick only two minutes before the half-hour mark.
This time it was a left-footed strike from 25 yards out which curled into
the top left when the striker was gifted time and space to shoot.
Borini started the comeback four minutes later when Allsop failed to hold
onto a Sala shot and the Italian smashed the loose ball into the net from
close range, making it 3-1.
It was only two minutes after Chelsea's first that Borini made it two when
he dribbled past the host's defence without being challenged and calmly
struck into the net at the far post, despite having two defenders and the
keeper between him and the goal.
Not much then happened before the half-time whistle blew, with most of the
game taking place in midfield as both sides battled to control possession.
Holland made no changes during the break while Miller made way for George
Thorne on the other side.
Within five minutes of the restart Borini secured his hat-trick after
Phillip was brought down inside the area and our number 9 stepped up to
send West Brom's keeper the way wrong way and slot in the bottom left. The
game was 3-3 with 50 minutes played.
There were still three goals to come in this closely contested fixture and
the first went to West Brom after Walker fumbled again. This time a
Clifford mistake gifted Lateef Elford-Alliyu possession on the edge of the
box and after Walker failed to hold onto his initial shot, he followed up
and finished from close range.
Sala then hit the near post with a corner ball before Borini scored a
brilliant goal by drilling with his right foot from just inside the area
after feeding off a Phillip ball. Allsop could only watch as the ball flew
into his own net.
Now it was 4-4 but Borini still had one goal left in him to put Chelsea in
front for the first and only time in the fixture.
Once Ince had made way for Saville to make his debut, the Blues changed
from a 4-3-3 formation to 4-4-2, with Sala moving back into midfield.
Not long after Holland's change of tactics, Borini netted a fifth. After
finding himself in space and with time to aim an accurate shot, the
Italian drilled a brilliantly placed strike into the top left from 25
yards out. Possession had fell to him when a Sala cross was deflected into
his path.
It was Borini's seventh goal in four games and the last strike in an
enthralling encounter against a tough West Brom side. A brilliant comeback
from Chelsea and a great game of football all round.
