Tammy Abraham pulled a late consolation back for the Blues but it was too late in the day to spark a comeback as the visitors took all three points back to north London. Adi Viveash made three changes from the side beaten earlier in the week by Manchester City, with Mitchell Beeney, Jay Dasilva and Ruben Sammut coming into the team. The latter was making his first Under-21s start, while Dasilva returned after representing England Under-17s at the World Cup in Chile. Abraham continued to lead the line up front supported by Charly Musonda, Reece Mitchell and Dasilva, with captain Charlie Colkett lining up alongside Sammut in midfield. The back four was unchanged from four days previously and comprised of Ola Aina, Fikayo Tomori, Jake Clarke-Salter and Fankaty Dabo. Beeney was in goal. Tottenham came into the game as the division's top goalscorers and in third place in the Division 1 table, though the opening half hour was more a tactical battle than an open encounter. Dasilva demonstrated an impressive leap at the far post to connect to Musonda's left-footed delivery, though his header failed to trouble Tom Glover in the visitors' goal. Much of Spurs' early threat was fashioned down their right flank, with Tomori and Clarke-Salter manfully defending the front post from a series of teasing deliveries, before captain Cameron Carter-Vickers met a corner from the right to bring a routine stop from Beeney. Down the other end, Clarke-Salter headed over from a Musonda corner before the north Londoners enjoyed a brighter spell and took the lead after 29 minutes. Filip Lesniak advanced and supplied a simple pass for Harrison, who finished confidently beyond Beeney to continue his impressive goalscoring record against Chelsea Academy teams. The Blues responded brightly as Dabo's dangerous delivery from the left brought some strong defending from Carter-Vickers, before Colkett fired a free-kick off-target following an aerial foul on Abraham. Beeney denied Kenny McEvoy's effort from a tight angle as the interval approached, while Dasilva’s cross was a few inches too high for Abraham in the box as the visitors went in at the break with a slender advantage. Musonda's rising drive whistled narrowly over Glover's bar before Spurs went so close to doubling their advantage as Beeney got the slightest of touches to a dangerous delivery and it proved enough to put off McEvoy at the back post, before Zenon Stylianides's low drive took a slight deflection and flew just wide. However, the reprieve for the Blues did not last long as they made it 2-0 after 52 minutes from the resulting corner. Some slack marking from the hosts allowed captain Veljkovic space in the box and the Serbian provided the punishing finish. Ugo Ehiogu's side added a third seven minutes later as Harrison turned Anthony Georgiou's cross expertly inside the post and beyond the dive of Beeney to put the visitors in a commanding position. The young Blues kept battling and looking to find a route back into the game, however, as Musonda fired a free-kick over and then substitute Miro Muheim brought a comfortable stop from Glover as he shot straight at the keeper from the edge of the box. The Swiss youth international was then teed up invitingly by Abraham but could not quite connect to his shot and dragged it wide, before Beeney saved from Harrison as the striker looked for his hat-trick goal. Muheim shot over and Abraham fired straight at Glover before the Chelsea striker pulled back a consolation goal three minutes from time as he powered a header into the far corner after Aina's super cross from the right. The next Academy action takes place tomorrow at Cobham when our table-topping Under-18s host Norwich City. == Manager reaction == After the game, Adi Viveash reflected on the evening's events and emphasised the need for the group to keep calm and stick together during a difficult development period. 'We were beaten by the better team,' he told the official Chelsea website. 'The first hour was not good enough from us with or without the ball and Tottenham deservedly won the game. It's a difficult period for us, we're not used to losing and this is a very unforgiving league but indivudual errors have cost us once more and it's three finishes from inside the six-yard box that have decided the game. 'We've played two very difficult games in a week but the way we finished in the last 30 minutes tonight does at least give us something to work with. We kept going, scored a good goal and caused Spurs a few problems but the game is over by then. 'Defeats do drain your confidence but we have to remain calm and keep working together. I've asked the players to think about the collective, think about what they can do to improve the team. That's quite difficult for young players, especially when you're thinking about yourself and where you can take your career, but that's the challenge I've asked them to think about over the weekend.'
