Under-18s report: Chelsea 0 Everton 2
Sat, 21 Mar 2015
Our Under-18s went down to a defeat in their second play-off game as a
goal in each half gave Everton victory.
The Blues had a host of good opportunities before the match's opener right
at the end of the first half, but the Toffees benefited from ruthlessness
finishing in front of goal from James Graham and Harry Charsley and
remained top of the top play-off tier.
== Team news ==
There were five changes from the side that kicked off the play-off round
with an emphatic 6-4 win at Tottenham last weekend. Bradley Collins
returned in goal while Fikayo Tomori came back in to partner Ali Suljic in
central defence. Charlie Wakefield and Josh Grant continued at right-back
and left-back respectively.
Kyle Scott, Tammy Abraham and Dominic Solanke were the three other
additions to the team, with Scott joining Mukhtar Ali in midfield and
Jeremie Boga operating in the number 10 role. Solanke led the line up
front supported from out wide by Abraham and Charly Musonda.
== First half ==
Everton produced an impressive performance themselves last week as they
beat Middlesbrough 4-0, and the visitors started brightly as captain
Charsley fired the first shot of the morning narrowly wide. The Blues
fashioned a chance for Solanke shortly after, with Ali finding Wakefield
down the right flank and the wideman delivering a super cross into the
box, however the striker's header lacked power and was aimed straight at
keeper Mateusz Hewelt.
The England Under-18 forward again tested the Toffees stopper after 15
minutes as he latched on to Scott's pass to drive a left-footed strike
towards goal, yet the effort was again too central and Hewelt saved.
Edwards's side continued to create the better chances and James Graham had
to react quickly to clear Musonda's shot off the line with Hewelt beaten.
The visiting stopper remained the busier of the two keepers and saved
again from Solanke and then Abraham during a strong period for the home
side.
Everton weathered the storm and rallied to snatch the opener in the final
minute of the half. Liam Walsh swung in a free-kick from the right and
Graham powered a header into the far corner beyond the despairing dive of
Collins.
== Second half ==
Charlie Colkett was introduced for the second period and his influence was
instant as his in-swinging free-kick caused problems in the Everton box.
Solanke rose highest to make contact with the cross but his header was
high and comfortably gathered by Hewelt.
Down the other end, Collins was required to make a crucial stop after an
hour to thwart Callum Connolly. The Blues keeper reacted quickly to get
down low and push the powerful strike away with a strong hand. From the
rebound, Dowell curled a shot looking for the top corner but Collins was
equal to the effort again.
Tomori burst forward down the left and struck a decent chance wide before
the young Toffees extended their advantage in the 74th minute. It was a
super solo effort from Dowell, beating two defenders before bending a
strike into the far top corner.
Chelsea pushed to find a route back into the game and Abraham fired
narrowly over from close range late on. Everton might have added a third
on the break as Charsley narrowly missed the target following Michael
Donohue's centre.
== Manager reaction ==
Joe Edwards spoke after the game of a different challenge posed by Everton
and reflected on a few first half-chances that were thwarted by the
visiting goalkeeper.
'We saw a different game than we've had at Cobham this season so it's been
a good learning experience for us,' he told the official Chelsea website.
'Everton deserve some credit because they're a very physical, hard-working
side who will fight for every ball and they know how to manage games like
this.
'Their keeper had one of those games in the first half where he got in the
way of everything and you do sense the importance of those moments when
you're playing a game like this. The second half became very frustrating
for us and stop-start but that's a part of football that we have to deal
with.
'We've certainly stepped up a level now in these play-offs. It's a blow
for our hopes of winning the league but these are the difficult games we
want to be involved in and we're here to learn from these experiences.'
Our youth team return to league action next weekend when they travel to
Aston Villa on Saturday 28 March. In other Academy fixture news, the
kick-off time for our Under-18s' home game against Manchester City on
Saturday 9 May has been changed. Our final match of the league season will
now begin at 1pm.
