RESERVE REPORT: CHELSEA 3 SUNDERLAND 2
Posted on: Mon 15 Aug 2011
=== Summary ===
The national reserve champions began the new campaign with an entertaining
win, coming back from a goal down with goals from Adam Phillip and Patrick
Van Aanholt before half-time but conceding an equaliser in the second half.
Milan Lalkovic won the match late on.
The Blues second string looked good going forward but there is room for
improvement at the back.
=== Team news ===
The side contained many players who were at the core of the team last
season but Rhys Taylor who was on loan last campaign was in goal. Patrick
van Aanholt was the one member of the first team squad involved. Tomas
Kalas played his first game since reaching the European Under 19
Championship final with Czech Republic and Conor Clifford his first match
since sitting on the bench for the full Republic of Ireland team.
=== First-half ===
It was an uneventful start to what proved to be an entertaining game held
at the training ground at Cobham. Sunderland got bodies in the way to
block from Kaby early on but there was no real threat on either goal until
a testing Sunderland cross was cleared over his own bar by Van Aanholt,
who took a knock in the process. Whipped-in balls from the visitors would
continue to pose problems.
Just past the quarter of an hour, Lalkovic played the ball quickly to
Phillip but the closely marked centre-forward ran out of room before he
could find the chance to shoot.
Rhys Taylor was quickly off his line to snuff out danger on 20 minutes
when former Chelsea youth player Billy Knott threaded a ball into the area.
Sunderland were asking as many questions of Chelsea as we were of them.
The visitors won a corner on 26 minutes which was looped towards goal by a
header. Taylor did well to tip it over. The Wales Under 21 keeper then
claimed the follow-up corner.
Taylor was powerless however to prevent the game's opener a minute later
as Chelsea were caught open at the back. Jordan Cook popped up on the
opposite wing to normal and crossed. Centre-forward Oumare Tounkara was
able to head in from almost under the crossbar.
The equaliser came on 34 minutes and Billy Clifford, today playing in a
wide attacking position, was the architect. He exchanged passes with Jacob
Mellis and then chipped a delicate ball over the defence for Adam Phillip
to control and finish. Last season's second top scorer at this level was
underway.
Clifford wasn't far away from curling in a goal of his own soon after,
Sunderland having just had a penalty appeal turned down.
Chelsea's second goal arrived before the break and it was another quality
effort. Van Aanholt sprinted down the left and was found by Kaby who had
previously shown good ability to spread the play. The Dutch left-back
belted his shot across the keeper and into the far bottom corner. Before
half-time, Phillip shot over from close range.
=== Second-half ===
Chelsea were only inches away from scoring within a minute of the restart
when Lalkovic headed over after Billy Clifford had battled past the
full-back and crossed deep.
Five minute later John Egan got up for Sunderland at the far post but
headed a Knott corner wide and Chelsea came back at them again, Billy
Clifford giving Todd Kane the chance to pick out Kaby. The Portuguese
midfielder was denied by the fast reactions of the keeper, Trevor Carson.
Taylor then had to save from Tounkara to keep his side ahead. It was a
lively opening to the second half. Van Aanholt very nearly caught Carson
out with a shot from distance but having not taken chances, Chelsea
allowed Sunderland to pull the scores level. Again the ball was delivered
from out wide, again the defending wasn't the best, and Roarie Deacon who
had only just come on tapped in.
For a spell Sunderland were in the ascendant. Taylor made a double save,
denying 's follow-up attempt and Carl Magnay made an excellent blocking
tackle as 9 was pulling the trigger.
Chelsea recovered composure and on 77 minutes took the lead. From his own
half, Mellis spotted the chance to give Lalkovic a chase and played the
ball over the top. The Slovakian's pace was always going to be enough to
keep him ahead of his chasers and he finished it off with a right-foot
shot.
The Blues had been the better side for a while but there was an escape
when James Armstrong shot wide after Kalas hadn't initially cut out a high
ball. The visitors exerted further pressure but Chelsea held on.
=== The manager ===
'I was very pleased to get a winning start,' said Dermot Drummy. 'I
believe they are still getting their fitness up and we let Sunderland play
a little too much for my liking, but the application was there and to get
a goal late on when Sunderland had the edge for a period was great for our
mentality.
'We need to work more on our game off the ball and we will do that but
overall we are pleased with the goals we scored but we were a bit sloppy
with the goals we let in.
'The moves for the goals were great. We do a lot of technical work and you
try to get the boys to move the ball like the first team and see things on
the pitch and be inventive, but they mustn't forget it isn't just about
playing that type of football, they must also be hard to beat.'
