YOUTH REPORT: CHELSEA 4 MIDDLESBROUGH 2
Posted on: Sat 29 Sep 2012
Chelsea's youth team earned a late victory at home to Middlesbrough on
Saturday morning, despite relinquishing s two-goal lead.
The Blues looked to be home and dry after an impressive first-half
display, with goals from Jordan Houghton (官網誤植為 Dion Conroy) and
Ambrose Gnahore giving us a comfortable lead, only for Middlesbrough to
hit back with two quick goalslate on that looked to have earned them a
point.
Character and determination shone through, however, to ensure victory.
First George Cole converted a header on the stroke of 90 minutes, before
fellow sub Conor Hunte stroked home a fourth as Boro went in search of
another unlikely equaliser.
It had taken Chelsea just nine minutes to break the deadlock when Houghton
rose to head home from close range inside the area, following a corner
that had come about after good work down the right from Tom Howard and
Fankaty Dabo.
More work from Howard, this time from the right, created an opportunity
for Charlie Colkett to double the lead but he was denied by a sharp save
from Middlesbrough goalkeeper Luke Coddington, who had already impressed
once with his sharp reflexes in the build-up to the first goal.
Boro had a goal ruled out for offside on 22 minutes as they launched a
rare counter-attack in an opening that will have left Chelsea coach Adi
Viveash pleased with his side's dominance.
When Boro came forward again, Ben Killip saved comfortably from Jordan
Jones, and at the other end Reece Mitchell's effort was deflected into the
side netting after Alex Kiwomya had slipped him in.
Chelsea captain Jordan Houghton shot just over from distance after good
work from Kiwomya and Colkett as Chelsea regained control, but the
visitors should have equalised just before the half-hour, only for their
centre-forward to miss his header after an acrobatic cross had found him
in space four yards out.
Conroy had another header saved at a corner before Boro again came close
from their own, the ball lifted over the bar from close range with Chelsea
looking a little static in defence. Killip would have to save again before
the break when possession was lost near the edge of the home box, Scott
McCarthy firing hard but straight.
Into the second half, Chelsea struggled to exert the same control over the
game, but doubled the lead on the hour when substitute Gnahore cut inside
from the right after Houghton had set him clear, and slotted home beneath
Coddington.
Colkett was prevented from adding a third by another smart save from the
away goalie, before Boro were brought back into the game with just under
15 minutes to go by their forward, who had found space down the middle of
Chelsea's defence and finished neatly.
Within a minute the visitors were level, a ball pulled back from the
bye-line and finished low into the bottom corner when danger looked to
have passed.
Coddington saved again from sub George Cole as Chelsea pressed once more,
and then the midfielder struck the bottom of the post with injury time
approaching as the three points looked to have slipped away.
However there was a final twist, and it was a case of third time lucky for
Cole, whose individual skill inside the area allowed him to lift the ball
over his marker, turn and beat the keeper with a close-range header.
Boro had around a minute to find an equaliser, but as they poured men
forward, Chelsea pinched possession, again thanks to Cole, and broke,
allowing sub Conor Hunte to poke a fourth goal into the bottom corner to
confirm the victory.
