FA YOUTH CUP REPORT: CHARLTON 2 CHELSEA 3 (AET)
Posted on: Wed 16 Jan 2013
== Summary ==
The youth side completed an impressive comeback at The Valley on Wednesday
night, coming from two goals down to book a place in the fifth round of
the FA Youth Cup.
Chelsea had fallen two goals behind in a poor first-half display where the
home side were the better team, first taking advantage of our sloppiness
in possession and then working a smart goal from a quick counter-attack,
leaving our defence of this title hanging by a thread.
Stern words at half-time clearly did the trick though and Chelsea showed
an increased desire and urgency in the second half, pulling a goal back
through defender Andreas Christensen before substitute Alex Kiwomya raced
through to level eight minutes from time.
After looking down and out, the reigning champions were not going to let
this lifeline go, and sure enough, three minutes into the second half of
extra-time, sub Connor Hunte slotted into the bottom corner to complete
the turnaround and send Chelsea through to the last 16.
== First half ==
The early stages saw either side struggling to get to grips with the
conditions on a hard and bobbly Valley playing surface. There was little
of the fluid passing Adi Viveash and his staff have worked hard to
cultivate in the Chelsea squad, but there were still opportunities.
First Nathan Ake drove over from outside the area and then striker Islam
Feruz saw his shot blocked, either side of a Diego Poyet effort that flew
off target for the home side.
The Blues were orchestrators off our own downfall when Charlton took the
lead 12 minutes in, as John Swift surrendered possession inside his own
half, and Harry Gerard was allowed to cross, picking out Tom Derry whose
close-range header back across Mitchell Beeney was too much for the
goalkeeper.
Only a foul on Beeney by striker Tobi Sho-Silva prevented Charlton going
two to the good shortly afterwards, but at the other end Chelsea
threatened once more through captain Lewis Baker, whose left-footed drive
was beaten away by Charlton goalkeeper Dillon Phillips.
Dominant in possession, Chelsea were caught cold again when Charlton
launched a quick counter-attack before a tidy interchange on the edge of
the box brought the ball to the feet of Oliver Muldoon, and the midfielder
made no mistake in placing his finish and doubling his side's advantage.
Baker slipped in Feruz almost immediately as Chelsea looked to hit back
quickly, but the striker was just off target as he shot across goal, and
then Ake drove off target again after patient build-up from Ruben
Loftus-Cheek and Baker.
Charlton almost put the game beyond reach just after the half-hour
following more good work from Muldoon, whose cross found Sho-Silva, and
when he unselfishly headed down, Derry forced a superb reflex stop from
Beeney to keep Chelsea in the game. Sho-Silva smashed the follow-up into
the side netting, another let-off that would leave Chelsea believing we
could find a way back into the game after the break.
== Second half ==
Viveash made an attacking change at the break, with Kiwomya replacing
right-back Fankaty Dabo. That shifted Ake back into central defence,
Christensen to the right and Kiwomya onto the right flank as Jeremie Boga
tucked inside, and Loftus-Cheek dropped into the midfield anchor role.
It took 11 second-half minutes for the Blues to find a chance, when
Baker's low drive brought a decent stop from Phillips. This punctuated
moments of frustration where first Baker's clever free-kick was not
anticipated by Boga, and then when his headed through ball was
accidentally handled by Feruz, who would otherwise have been in on goal.
With the ball at his feet Feruz always looks dangerous, and he danced
around his man brilliantly on the left, picking out Swift could who
steered his shot just wide.
Baker saw his header cleared off the line after a Boga corner as the Blues
began to exert more and more pressure, and a goal would not be far off.
It came from Christensen, who gambled in possession and advanced from his
right-back slot, skipping round tackle after tackle before playing in
Feruz. The Scotsman's low shot was partially dealt with by the goalkeeper,
allowing the Dane to continue his run and knock the loose ball home.
Twenty-five minutes remained in which to force an equaliser, but for a
while it looked like it wouldn't come, as Feruz shot wildly over and then
miskicked, but a Chelsea second finally arrived inside the final 10
minutes through Kiwomya, who was released down the middle and showed his
electric pace to burst pass the Charlton defence and finish confidently
from just inside the box.
Three minutes later Alex Davey must have thought he had put us in front
when he headed another Baker corner towards the top corner, but Phillips
was just able to get across his goal-line and tip over.
That was the last chance of the 90 minutes, and so the game moved into 30
minutes of extra-time. After such a poor start, Chelsea had done well to
force the extra period. Now, they would want to ensure they finished the
job.
== Extra-time ==
The opening 15 minutes brought no clear-cut chances with both sides
visibly tiring after a hard night's graft in freezing conditions.
Phillips in the Charlton net had to pad down a fierce Ake drive to make
the half's only save, but three minutes after the restart he would be
beaten once more.
Substitute and schoolboy Connor Hunte broke through down the left and into
the Charlton box was able to guide the ball past the goalkeeper and into
the far corner, putting his side in front for the first time in the game.
Beeney had to save from Gerard low to his left as Charlton desperately
sought a way back in, but having gained control, Chelsea would not let it
slip, and held on to secure a home draw in the fifth round.
