U18聯賽第13輪 http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/11/ under-18-report--southampton-2-chelsea-2.html Under-18 report: Southampton 2 Chelsea 2 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 Our Under-18s came from 2-0 down to earn a point away at Southampton today (Friday). First-half goals from Olufela Olomola and Josh Sims gave the hosts a two-goal lead at the break before Isaac Christie-Davies reduced the deficit with a brilliant chipped finish.That set the scene for late drama as substitute Tammy Abraham grabbed an equaliser with four minutes remaining and was then denied a winner in stoppage time as his header was hooked clear off the line. == Team news == There were 10 changes from the side that started last week's 3-0 home victory over Arsenal, with only goalkeeper Bradley Collins keeping his place. Under-16 defenders Josh Grant and Trevoh Chalobah came into the defence alongside Charlie Wakefield and Ali Suljic. Youth team regulars Ruben Sammut, Mukhtar Ali and Isaac Christie-Davies comprised the midfield trio, while Faiq Bolkiah led the line up front supported by Miro Muheim and Kasey Palmer. The Saints made four changes from the corresponding fixture, on the opening day of the campaign, as they looked for the points against the league leaders. == First half == It was a probing opening from both sides on an overcast afternoon on the South Coast, although opportunities were limited until Saints striker Olufela Olomola flashed a shot past the far post after 11 minutes. Sammut sliced wide on his weaker left foot after Muheim had cut the ball back cleverly from the right before Collins made the first save of the game, pushing Olomola's low drive away to safety. The Blues were forced into some good defending as the hosts enjoyed a strong spell midway through the half, threatening with a series of corners, before Anthony Limbrick's side broke the deadlock just after half an hour. Southampton had the visitors penned in to their own half with some high pressing and got the reward for their efforts as Olomola poked home Dan Demkiv's low centre at the back post. We looked to find a quick response and briefly threatened, however the hosts were working hard and well-organised in midfield and defence. They also remained dangerous themselves and soon doubled their advantage moments before the interval. An advance down the right flank caused problems and Josh Sims was gifted the space to escape the attention of the defender and bend a curling effort into the top corner beyond Collins. == Second half == Edwards made a double switch at the interval as Jake Clarke-Salter and the youth team's top goalscorer Tammy Abraham entered the fray. The Blues restarted purposefully as Abraham almost got on the end of a flowing attack involving Bolkiah and Christie-Davies. Collins saved comfortably from former Chelsea academy defender Josh Debayo and Abraham was thwarted only by an excellent last-ditch challenge when clear through in behind, but the Saints defence were unable to keep the league leaders at bay for much longer and we reduced the deficit after 56 minutes. A cross in from the left caused problems and Christie-Davies was able to get the ball under control and then execute a sublime chip over Harry Isted in the Southampton goal that nestled in the far corner. That opened the contest up and stretched the game, with both sides fashioning clear-cut chances as the half wore on. Wakefield dragged a volley wide before Demkiv thumped the far post with a curling strike after cutting inside from the right flank. Abraham came agonisingly close to grabbing the leveller as a good chance was created down the right channel and the striker lifted the ball over the head of the onrushing Isted towards goal, though Ollie Cook's intervention proved decisive as he headed clear off the line. Isted then made an excellent save to deny Christie-Davies after a one-two with Abraham as Edwards' side pushed strongly in the final exchanges. Our endeavours eventually paid off as a bright move forward brought progress and Abraham provided the expert finish as he lifted the ball over Isted and completed the fightback to seal a point for his team, netting his 19th goal of the campaign in all competitions. The Blues could have grabbed a winner in stoppage time as Abraham met a corner from the right with an arrowing header, though substitute Armani Little was well-positioned on the line to clear the danger and ensure the points were shared. == Manager reaction == Joe Edwards expressed mixed emotions after the game. Speaking to the official Chelsea website, he said: 'We had enough chances to win the game but I didn't think we played well really. 'We changed the team with the Youth Cup on Tuesday a little bit in mind so it was a good opportunity for some of the scholars to step up. We had a slightly different game plan, with a couple of schoolboys in defence making it a young back line, but we didn't get enough control of the game and didn't deal with the second balls at all well.' Edwards was pleased with the character he was able to summon from the bench. 'We brought on character at both ends of the pitch with the half-time changes and that was something we lacked in general today. Isaac gets his goal which is probably the only bit of class we produced all game and then Tammy obviously gets the equaliser. 'I think we should be quite pleased with a point based on what we showed in the game. We lacked a bit of quality and desire and our away form is something we know hasn't been good enough. We need to improve that and there's no better place to test ourselves than at West Ham in our next away trip.' Next up for the Academy is a trip to Leeds United in the third round of the FA Youth Cup on Tuesday 2 December. The game is being shown live on Chelsea TV and kick-off at Elland Road is at 7.05pm.
