YOUTH REPORT: MANCHESTER UNITED 1 CHELSEA 1
Sat, Mar 29, 2014
== Summary ==
Our Under-18 team won a well-earned league point on their travels in the
North-West earlier today (Saturday) to strengthen their position in fourth
place in the league table.
Jordan Houghton (pictured) put the visitors ahead in the first half with a
great strike from 25 yards before United levelled after the interval
through Joe Riley. Both teams had opportunities to win the game in the
final 20 minutes but had to settle for a share of the points.
== Team news ==
There were two changes from the side that secured a positive draw at
Fulham last time out as schoolboy Mukhtar Ali came into midfield and Reece
Mitchell replaced Tammy Abraham up front.
The back five remained unchanged once again as Bradley Collins continued
in goal behind a defence of Fankaty Dabo, Jake Clarke-Salter, George Brady
and Ola Aina. Ali was joined in midfield by Charlie Colkett and Jordan
Houghton, while Mitchell was supported in attack by Jay Dasilva and Charly
Musonda from the flanks.
== Report ==
Viveash's side enjoyed large control of the first period and were ahead
inside a quarter of an hour as Houghton fired an excellent strike into the
far corner from 25 yards to notch his second goal of the campaign.
Dasilva blazed over the bar from eight yards after some great build-up
play down the left flank between Clarke-Salter and Houghton as the
visitors looked to extend their early advantage, before Joel Pereira in
the United goal denied Musonda and then Dasilva in quick succession.
After the restart, positive combination play between Dasilva and Colkett
fashioned an opportunity for the central midfielder. Dasilva reversed a
pass from the byline towards Colkett, who had continued his forward run,
though the England youth international could only slice his final shot
wide from six yards on his weaker right foot.
United responded and were soon level as Joe Riley grabbed the equaliser
for the hosts. A long diagonal forward pass presented the advancing
midfield man with the opening and he slotted the ball confidently into the
bottom corner beyond Collins.
Both sides had chances to snatch the win in the final quarter of the game.
United fired wide on a couple of occasions, while Chelsea threatened as
substitute Ambrose Gnahore shot straight at Pereira and Brady headed
narrowly wide in the final few minutes.
Next up for the Under-18s is a home league encounter with Bolton Wanderers
next Saturday 5 April, before Viveash's side entertain Arsenal at Stamford
Bridge in the FA Youth Cup semi-final first-leg on Thursday 10 April.
Supporters wishing to attend the London derby cup clash can still purchase
tickets online, priced ￡5 for adults and ￡3 for concessions. Before that
our Under-21 side travel to Stoke City's Brittania Stadium on Friday 4
April.
== Reaction ==
Viveash paid tribute to his team's efforts over the last seven days, where
they have secured draws away at Fulham and United as well as a home win
against West Brom last weekend. Speaking to the official Chelsea website
after the draw in Manchester, he said: 'It was a massive physical effort
from us today but there have been a lot of positives over the last week.
To play three games in seven days with a lot of schoolboys involved is a
tough schedule, even for 18-year-olds, but we've come out of it with two
draws and a win so it's been a positive seven days.'
The manager felt his side were unfortunate not to have extended their lead
before the break as several chances were squandered.
'We certainly had the better of the first half and scored a great goal
through Jordan Houghton. We had enough chances but unfortunately the
cutting edge wasn't quite there and when you don't take the chances you
get then you do get made to pay.
'We knew we were going to tire in the second half but physically it's been
a fantastic effort over this week and now we can give the players a couple
of days' rest to recharge their bodies. The players have got good minutes
into them and we've had no new injuries so we build up nicely in the next
10 days to the Youth Cup semi-finals.'
The youngsters have conceded just one goal in their last three games and
Viveash was also eager to praise the defensive efforts of his team over
the last week.
'The back four have been very good in the last three games. It's been the
same back four and goalkeeper and they've done really well to only concede
one goal. Today I thought Houghton and Colkett were outstanding in
midfield as well. They had a great balance about them, gave us a driving
performance as well as a lot of guile and it was great for Jordan to get
the goal.
'For Charlie to play two full matches and one half in a week is a massive
step forward for him and I think he's hitting real peak form at the right
time of the season for the big games we have coming up.'
