Under-18s report: Chelsea 2 Brighton 1
Sat, 7 Feb 2015
Our Under-18s ensured their place in the elite round when the regional
leagues split into three next month after a battling victory.
Hubert Adamczyk and Isaac Christie-Davies netted in the first half to give
the Blues a two-goal lead at the break, before the visitors rallied in the
second period. Ben White's header reduced the deficit but Joe Edwards'
side defended strongly in the final exchanges as they secured all three
league points.
== Team news ==
There were three changes from the side that beat Aston Villa last weekend
in the youth team's last outing as four Under-16s started the game. Mason
Mount came into midfield for his first Under-18 start of the season, while
Trevoh Chalobah and Josh Grant formed part of the defence as manager Joe
Edwards continued with a 3-4-2-1 system.
Grant was partnered at centre-back by Fikayo Tomori and Ali Suljic, with
Chalobah and Hubert Adamczyk at right and left wing-back respectively.
Kyle Scott captained the side in midfield alongside Mukhtar Ali, while
Isaac Christie-Davie and Mount provided the attacking support for striker
Ike Ugbo.
== First half ==
It was a lively first 10 minutes at an overcast Cobham as both sides
fashioned opportunities to open the scoring. Grant's close-range header
from Christie-Davies's in-swinging free-kick forced Bailey Vose in the
Brighton goal into an early save, before Collins did well to push striker
James Tilley's strike on to the post.
The Blues continued to probe as Adamczyk flashed a shot wide at the end of
a good move involving Scott and Christie-Davies. The Polish youth
international was more clinical moments later as he netted his second goal
in three starts this campaign with a low drive that squirmed underneath
Vose and into the back of the net.
George Cox fired a shot wide after Conor Tighe's deep cross but the home
side continued to control proceedings and Scott came close to doubling
their advantage. His curling 25-yard effort thumped back off the crossbar
and into the grateful arms of Vose. However, when an identical opportunity
was created for Brighton-born Christie-Davies a minute later, the
midfielder made no mistake as he found the top corner with a brilliant
effort.
Mount volleyed narrowly wide at the end of the half as the youngsters
ended a confident 45-minute display with a deserved two-goal lead.
== Second half ==
The visitors made a double switch at the break and restarted with a far
higher intensity to their play. Substitute Jack Rowe-Hurst headed narrowly
wide but their endeavours were rewarded 11 minutes into the second period.
Defender Ben White glanced a header into the far corner following a
free-kick from the right and the Seagulls were back in the game.
Chelsea's response was immediate as Des Hutchinson poked the ball off his
own line after a scramble in the Brighton box, but the visitors were
much-improved from the first half and forced Collins into a series of
difficult dealings with high balls into the box.
Ugbo was denied by Vose and Tomori fired narrowly wide late on, while Ali
was denied a clear penalty in stoppage time as the game swung from end to
end. The Blues were forced into some strong defending in the final
exchanges, with Grant impressive in the air and Collins denying White with
a good save to ensure three points for the hosts.
== Manager reaction ==
Joe Edwards reflected afterwards on a performance in which his side
demonstrated not just technical but also battling qualities en-route to a
win. Speaking to the official Chelsea website, he said: 'It was a young
team so it was a good test for the boys.
'Those games we now know we're going to be involved in at the end of the
season in the elite round are going to be a level up, so it's important
for our younger boys to get this experience now.
'I felt we really grew into the game and our midfield took control. Once
we got into their half we played some really good football in and around
the box, scored the goals and went in at half-time with a well-deserved
lead.
'We could tell Brighton were frustrated at half-time and knowing their
qualities we expected a response in the second half and we got a real
test. We showed good character with a few young players not so natural
playing for points.
'We dug in and had the legs to cover the ground with our pressing. The
back three were excellent because Brighton are a very good
counter-attacking team and this 3-4-2-1 is a system that has been working
well for us for a couple of weeks now.'
