UNDER-21 REPORT: CHELSEA 0 LIVERPOOL 1
Posted on: Mon 07 Apr 2014
== Summary ==
The Under-21s went down to their first league defeat since mid-September
on a rain-lashed evening in Aldershot. Jack Dunn's strike midway through
the first half ensured the visitors took all three points back to
Merseyside.
A later flourish from the young Blues almost brought them level as
visiting goalkeeper Ryan Fulton denied Charly Musonda, Adam Nditi and
substitute Kasey Palmer in the final few minutes to keep his side ahead.
== Team news ==
Dermot Drummy made four changes from the side won 3-0 against Stoke City
at the Britannia Stadium on Friday evening, with Jamal Blackman, Tika
Musonda, Charly Musonda and Islam Feruz returning to the fray.
Blackman was protected by an unchanged back four of Isak Ssewankambo, Alex
Davey, Andreas Christensen and Adam Nditi, while Lewis Baker and John
Swift joined Tika Musonda in central midfield. Feruz led the line up front
supported from out wide by Charly Musonda and Reece Mitchell.
== First half ==
Drummy's side were looking to extend an unbeaten run that stretched back
12 games, while also strengthen their top-four position in the league
table and secure an end-of-season play-off position in the fight for the
title.
Baker had the game's first effort, bringing a comfortable save from Ryan
Fulton in the Liverpool goal, before the visitors' striker Jack Dunn fired
over after progress down the right.
Charly Musonda brought a good save from Fulton after 10 minutes following
a bright forward move from left to right involving Baker, Swift and
Mitchell. The latter found the youngest of the Belgian brothers infield
and his low effort was tipped behind as Fulton dived low to his right.
Blackman rushed off his line well to deny full-back Connor Randall after
Jordan Rossiter's intricate ball forward, and Joao Teixeira's free-kick
flew marginally wide, before a passage of the match midway through the
half in which the deadlock was broken.
Nditi moved forward from left-back to strike a driven effort that
deflected narrowly past Fulton's far post, before the goalkeeper dropped
the resultant corner under pressure and the visitors had to rely on a
covering defender to head off the line.

Liverpool responded as Kris Peterson won the ball in midfield and threaded
an excellent through ball for Dunn, narrowly evading the covering Davey,
and the striker finished confidently beyond Blackman to give his side the
lead.
That sparked the young Reds' best spell of the game up to that point as
Lussey tested Blackman from the edge of the box, before Tika Musonda had
to recover brilliantly to poke Peterson's centre behind for a corner as
the wideman got in behind the defence down the left channel.
Feruz snatched the ball off Jordan Williams and unleashed a venomous shot
that dipped a couple of inches over Fulton's crossbar after 44 minutes. as
the half ended with several breaks in play and a booking apiece for either
side.
== Second half ==
Liverpool started the second period on the front foot. Peterson dragged
his shot past the far post when positioned promisingly and then Teixeira
rattled the woodwork from a free kick inside the opening five minutes.
Drummy introduced Alex Kiwomya (pictured below) after 55 minutes and the
winger was immediately involved in the action as he fizzed a strike beyond
Fulton's far post, however clear-cut chances remained at a premium.
Mitchell's centre from the right narrowly evaded Kiwomya in the six-yard
box as the hosts pushed forward in increasing numbers, though it was
Blackman forced into a good save down low to keep the deficit at one.

Substitute Palmer fired over the bar shortly after his introduction in
place of Swift, before home penalty claims were waved away by the busy
referee as Feruz went down under a challenge in the box.
A crowd 3602 supporters had come down to Aldershot's Electrical Services
Stadium to witness the encounter between two of the league's top-four
sides and they were not disappointed as an entertaining contest reached
its conclusion. Nditi recovered well to pinch the ball off the toe of
substitute Marc Pelosi before a grandstand finish.
Fulton denied Musonda's drive from distance but let the ball squirm out
of his hands and the lurking Nditi almost turned the loose ball over the
line before the keeper intervened again. Then Palmer's mazy forward run
opened up some space and his effort was heading for the top corner before
a fantastic save turned the ball behind.
Blackman came charging forward to try to bolster the Blues' aerial
attacking options but Liverpool defended resolutely and held on to the
three points to keep themselves top of the table.
Next up for the Academy is the FA Youth Cup semi-final first-leg against
Arsenal this Thursday, 10 April. The game is being played at Stamford
Bridge and updated ticket information is below.
== Manager reaction ==
Drummy conceded that the better side had won on a frustrating evening for
his side. Speaking to the official Chelsea website after the game, he
said: 'I thought Liverpool played as a team. They pressed us and had a lot
of quality up front.
'The pitch was great and fast and suited both sides but the quality of our
passing was there and we didn't hurt them enough. It was a disappointing
first half and then in the second half they got a bit tired and we started
to open them up a bit.
'We left the best until last really. Adam Nditi could score and then the
keeper pulled off a great save right at the end from Palmer, but I felt it
was a fair result. We lost Jeremie Boga to injury and decided to rest Izzy
Brown ahead of Thursday but that's no excuse and now we have to regroup
mentally.
'Some of these boys will go on to play in the Youth Cup later this week
and then we play at Villa Park on Monday, so it's great development for
them but we're disappointed tonight. It's our third defeat of the season
and that bit of quality from our senior players wasn't there tonight.'
