YOUTH REPORT: CHELSEA 2 BOLTON WANDERERS 3
Posted on: Sun 24 Mar 2013
Chelsea's youngsters were beaten by the odd goal in five on a snowy
Saturday morning at Cobham.
The Blues took the lead through Jesse Starkey in the first half, only to
fall behind thanks to goals either side of the break from the visitors,
before Ambrose Gnahore pulled Adi Viveash's side level. The game could
have gone either way in the closing stages, but a winner came for Bolton,
consigning Chelsea to a third straight league defeat.
Chelsea's George Cole twice went close with low drives early on, while
sandwiched between was a glaring miss from Bolton's centre-forward, who
fired high from inside the six-yard box.
Starkey and John Swift both worked the visiting goalkeeper before a tidy
Chelsea move brought a chance for left-winger Connor Hunte, who shot wide
of the near post. He was forced off through injury shortly afterwards.
Ten minutes later Starkey curled Chelsea in front from the edge of the
box, but Bolton were level almost instantly after being awarded a penalty.
Dion Conroy's header was saved as the Blues pressed for another but it was
all square at the break.
Chelsea improved after the restart and almost went ahead on the hour when
substitute Gnahore saw his header pushed onto the crossbar by the Bolton
keeper, following good work from Cole on the right flank.
It proved a bitter blow then when five minutes later Bolton went in front
with a well-struck low drive from the edge of the box.
In searching for an equaliser Swift was left frustrated when his header
was hacked off the line, but it would not be long before Gnahore did level
with a well-placed finish from inside the box.
Starkey then had a free-kick well saved and Conroy looped a header over
while Bolton almost nicked it with a deft flick that went just past Ben
Killip's right-hand post.
Isak Ssewankambo was then on hand to perform a last-ditch tackle after
Conroy had been dispossessed inside the centre-circle.
Both sides could sense victory and a fifth and deciding goal looked
probable. Unfortunately for Chelsea it did come, but for Bolton, who broke
quickly with five minutes remaining and finished well from the left
channel.
The remaining few minutes brought no opportunities for a leveller, meaning
a rare run of consecutive league defeats.
