RESERVE REPORT: CHELSEA 7 BLACKPOOL 2
Posted on: Mon 14 Mar 2011
The reserves recorded a stunning 7-2 home victory against Blackpool on
Monday afternoon, despite being a man down for more than 80 minutes.
Daniel Pappoe's early dismissal looked like it would seriously damage the
Blues' chances of a win when the away side took the lead from the penalty
spot, but first-half goals from Adam Phillip and Fabio Borini, followed by
an own goal gave us an unexpected but well-deserved half-time advantage.
A quickfire fourth cancelled out Blackpool's second that came just after
half-time when Milan Lalkovic scored a fine individual effort, and from
there Steve Holland's men were coasting, Phillip claiming a second before
Billy Clifford and Todd Kane completed the scoring to make it five league
games unbeaten.
Holland was able to call upon fit-again Ryan Bertrand to add experience to
his back four at left-back, while Borini continued up front having notched
in two of his previous three appearances. Visitors Blackpool had
goalkeeper Matthew Gilks, a Premier League regular prior to injury,
forward Sergei Kornilenko and young winger Matt Phillips all in their
line-up.
Borini was the first player to have a sight of goal, firing hard at Gilks,
before rare controversy at reserve team level.
Play was underway in the Chelsea half when the assistant flagged,
signalling a penalty. Centre-back Pappoe received a red card, having
clashed with forward Kornilenko, and Malaury Martin stroked home the spot
kick with the minimum of fuss, Sam Walker static on his line.
Just eight minutes had passed and already Chelsea needed to alter things,
Nathaniel Chalobah dropping back to cover in defence, with wingers
Lalkovic and Phillip forced to drop deeper into midfield, Borini the lone
front man.
Blackpool were not without their own problems though, and just 14 minutes
in Gilks had to be replaced, seemingly suffering with the knee injury that
has kept him out since November.
Borini crossed and Lalkovic headed tamely at replacement Elliot Tarney
before Phillip converted Chelsea's equaliser on 19 minutes.

Phillip on the ball
Slack defending presented Clifford with the ball inside the Blackpool box
and he intelligently squared inside, where Phillip controlled and shot low
into the bottom corner with his left foot.
The feat was almost repeated within five minutes when this time Borini
pulled back, but this time the former Yeovil Town loanee's drive was
beaten away by Tarney, but it would not take long for the Blues to go in
front.
Once again it was Borini, his fifth in four games, who would give us the
advantage, latching on to Lalkovic's through ball and finishing with
conviction into the far corner.
It was almost three moments later, Phillip bursting through with some fine
close control, before the loose ball fell for Clifford, who beat Tarney to
the ball with a lunge, but could only poke it agonisingly wide of the
post. Consolation though could be found with the knowledge that Chelsea
looked like scoring with every attack, whereas Blackpool were barely
threatening despite their numeric advantage.
On the half-hour the third arrived, Lalkovic making a break after winning
possession down the right, beating his man and sending a dangerous cross
into the area. Truthfully, Borini probably wouldn't have made it to the
ball before the goalkeeper, so defender Chris Basham's diving interception
looked unnecessary, and more so once he had served only to send the ball
past his goalkeeper and into the net.
A goal and a man down inside 10 minutes, the Blues had responded
excellently and were carrying out Holland's instructions perfectly.
Another rapid break nearly brought a fourth goal, Lalkovic outpacing his
marker and crossing only for Basham to this time clear efficiently and
deny Borini a tap in.
The Slovakian then came close himself but saw his shot cleared off the
line, and just before half-time Bertrand smashed into the side netting
after Phillip had slipped him a quick free-kick.
Five minutes into the second period Blackpool halved the deficit, captain
Liam Tomsett pulling back from the by-line for Kornilenko to finish, but
their hopes would last only a couple of minutes.
Lalkovic, who had tormented the visitors for most of the first half,
clearly fancied a goal of his own, and claimed it after cutting in from
the left and working his way past a series of challenges before shooting
home from the edge of the box on his weaker left foot.
Twenty minutes into the second half Chelsea were looking comfortable once
more, dominating possession and looking the more likely to add to their
total. Phillip was worked in by Clifford once more but was denied by a
smart save, while at the other end Kornilenko sliced high.
Just after 70 minutes the lead was extended when Walker's clearance found
Lalkovic on halfway. His persistence, though he lost the ball, allowed
Phillip to race clear with time to pick his spot, bending calmly into the
far corner beyond the exposed Tarney, who by now must have been cursing
his luck.
With time ticking and legs surely tiring, Chelsea were still looking by
far the more sturdy defensively, two defensive banks of four well
marshalled by Tomas Kalas and Chalobah in defence, and the disciplined
Kaby in midfield, whose willingness to sit deep was allowing the energetic
Clifford to join attacks and help get the ball in behind Blackpool's
backline.

Clifford scores
Clifford got his reward with just over 10 minutes remaining. Phillip had
brought down a long ball excellently and laid inside for Borini, who drove
towards Blackpool's ragged defence before spotting Clifford's run and
picking him out. The 18-year-old still had plenty to do but took control,
rounded Tarney and slotted home, rounding off a superb move that had
started in Walker's hands.
Holland's men were not done yet though, and Clifford turned from scorer to
architect, waiting and waiting inside the Blackpool half until Todd Kane
had motored past him demanding the ball, timing his run to perfection to
avoid offside, bringing down the lofted pass, rounding the goalkeeper and
making it seven.
Blackpool seemed to have given up, defensively at least, though Kornilenko
still looked a handful, and should have pulled a goal back from close
range, instead turning a low cross onto the crossbar and back into play.
Phillip thought he had rolled home his hat-trick goal only for an offside
flag to cancel it out, that before his impressive afternoon was brought to
an end with a couple of minutes remaining, George Saville sent on in his
place to join fellow substitutes Marko Mitrovic, playing his second
reserve outing after serious injury, and Aziz Deen-Conteh.
So, a second straight victory, and one achieved in entertaining fashion.
It had looked unlikely after Pappoe's early dismissal, but Holland will
have every right to be proud of a superb team performance.
