YOUTH REPORT: CHELSEA 2 FULHAM 1
Posted on: Sat 06 Oct 2012
The young Blues maintained their incredible 100% league record this
campaign with a 2-1 win over Fulham at Cobham. Ruben Loftus-Cheek's
first-half goal put the hosts in front before a resilient visiting side
pulled one back midway through the second period through Muamer Tankovic.
However, Adi Viveash's side fought right until the end and got their
reward with a late own goal winner. It means the Under-18s now have six
wins from six this season.
With an Under-19 side in NextGen action in Moscow in midweek and Dermot
Drummy's Under-21s having played the previous evening at Craven Cottage
there were plenty of opportunities for the youngsters
Ruben Loftus-Cheek started in midfield, alongside Jesse Starkey and John
Swift, while Reece Mitchell, Ambrose Gnahore and Tom Howard made up the
attacking trio. Jordan Houghton skippered from centre back, alongside Dion
Conroy, with Kevin Wright and Jon Muleba taking the full-back positions
and Mitchell Beeney between the sticks.
The opening exchanges were even and the visitors, who lost their own 100%
league record last week, were clearly going to provide stiff competition
to Viveash's young side. Chances were few and far between in the first ten
minutes and it took a quarter of an hour for the hosts to take the lead,
with one of the game's first real chances. A great cross-field pass from
Muleba found Loftus-Cheek in plenty of space at the far post and the
midfielder had time to take a touch to control and slot the ball low past
Max Oberschmidt in the Fulham goal.
The visitors were quick to respond and went close to getting an immediate
leveller, though Tankovic's deflected effort span just over Beeney's bar
and behind for a corner. At the other end Gnahore got in behind down the
left flank after some good Chelsea interplay but his effort trickled
agonisingly beyond the far post, with Oberschmidtbeaten.
Howard and Muleba then combined down the right to win the ball back high
up the field, and the opening came for the midfielder, whose low effort
was well hit but central and comfortably gathered. On the other flank
Gnahore was tricky in getting in behind the Donnelly once again and, while
Swift did well to turn the delivery goal-bound, it was a comfortable save.
Fulham remained a constant danger, though, and there was a scare when
Muleba got the wrong side of Tankovic, running towards his own goal, and
upended him. The referee adjudged the foul to have occurred right on the
edge of the box, though it was a close call. The resultant set-piece was
gathered by Beeney at the second attempt.
Mitchell had a chance to use his pace in behind with five minutes of the
half remaining but his ball inside to Swift was just over-hit and, despite
Gnahore doing well to win the ball back, he was marshalled well.
Conroy strode into growing space in front of him and hit a sweet effort
that flew over but, as the interval loomed it was the visitors dominating
possession and Chelsea working hard to keep their defensive shape and
press the ball. On the one occasion that Houghton and Conroy were split,
with a ball in between them feeding in Roberts, the latter recovered well
and made a good sliding challenge to keep the danger at bay.
The visitors came out and started very brightly after the break, with
Swift having to make an important sliding intervention early on, while
Tankovic had a decent sighter at goal but sliced his volley wide. Woodron
then glanced a header just wide as the visitors remained on the front
foot.
Chelsea remained a constant threat on the break and Gnahore kept
Oberschmidt busy with a decent effort after coming inside onto his left
foot, before combining with Swift to set the midfielder up with a decent
opening that he could only hit the side netting with. Tankovic had another
opportunity on the volley, this time hit much sweeter but still just
missing the target, though the warning signs were there that the visitors
were close to a leveller.
That equaliser eventually came with less than 15 minutes remaining, as the
ever-dangerous Tankovic finished tidily from close range to bring the
scores level. Houghton had to defend strongly inside his own box as both
sides sought a winner, and Tankovic again went close with a dipping effort
from nearly 30 yards, before the Blues snatched a winner.
Gnahore probed down the right and fired a dangerous centre across the face
of goal which could only be turned into his own net, under pressure, by
substitute O'Neilly. Chelsea had a few more tense moments to hold on but
defended resolutely and came away with their sixth win from six league
games.

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
