Under-18s report: Aston Villa 4-4 Chelsea
Sat 7 Nov 2015
Our Under-18s picked up a league point on the road this morning (Saturday)
as both Mason Mount and Harvey St Clair netted braces in a thrilling
encounter.
Villa took the lead early on but came from behind three times to snatch a
late point against the leaders in the south section of the Under-18
Premier League.
The young Blues started slowly, struggling with the difficult windy and
rainy conditions, and were made to pay after five minutes as the hosts
opened the scoring. Callum O'Hare provided the delivery from the right and
captain Suliman turned the ball beyond Baxter at the back post from a few
yards out.
Baxter then saved Jake Humphries's low right-footed drive before the
visitors settled and began to take charge of proceedings. The equaliser
came within 10 minutes of Suliman's goal as Kemp advanced down the right
flank, with the referee playing a good advantage, and Mount prodded in
past goalkeeper Matija Sarkic from close range.
Edwards's side gained confidence from levelling terms and were ahead just
before the half-hour mark as Kemp again caused problems down the right and
forced a save from Sarkic, who could not hold on to the loose ball and
St Clair was on hand to put his side in front.
The visitors were getting joy in wide areas, with St Clair cutting inside
dangerously from the left and testing Sarkic with a fierce drive. However,
the league leaders' advantage lasted only four minutes as O'Hare provided
a lovely floated cross for Hepburn-Murphy and the striker headed beyond
the helpless Baxter.
The topsy-turvy, end-to-end nature of the contest continued and Mount
fired us back in front 11 minutes before the break, skipping away from a
defender on the edge of the box and firing low into the bottom corner.
Villa responded and Baxter was forced to claw away a looping effort before
denying Jack Clarke late in the half.
Edwards altered his side's shape at the interval, switching to a back
three with St Clair and Dasilva operating as full-backs. Mount fired over
early after the restart before Corey Taylor saw a drive blocked behind
after neat link-up play between Mitchell Clark and O'Hare.
Opportunities continued to be fashioned at both ends as Kemp shot wide
after good work from Mount before Villa equalised again just after the
hour mark. Amid a scramble in the box and strong appeals for offside, the
ball was turned in from a few yards out.
St Clair blazed over and Dasilva's curling strike was pushed behind by
Sarkic before Clark thwarted substitute Jacob Maddox with a
perfectly-timed intervention after St Clair had progressed down the left
and Dujon Sterling headed back towards goal.
With the scores level heading towards the game's conclusion, the scene was
set for a grandstand finish and the visitors looked to have won all three
points in the first minute of stoppage time. The lively St Clair went
beyond the right full-back before twisting back inside and rifling his
finish into the roof of the net.
Yet there was still time added on for more late drama as Villa snatched a
late point from 12 yards out. Grant was caught out and the referee had no
hesitation in awarding the home side a penalty kick, which Hepburn-Murphy
duly converted.
== Manager reaction ==
Joe Edwards reflected after the game on a frustrating morning on which
defensive lapses cost his side taking maximum points back home from the
Midlands.
Speaking to the official Chelsea website, he said: 'It was a good test for
the players to come and deal with the other side of the game in difficult
conditions that made it difficult to play.
'It was a sloppy start where we went a goal down and that then makes it
even more difficult but eventually we got to grips with the game plan we
had worked on. I felt we played some good football and Mason, Dan Kemp and
Harvey were excellent at the top end of the pitch but we made naive
decisions and defended poorly at the back. When you don't defend well
enough and concede four goals, that makes it difficult to take anything
out of a game.
'For us to have the ball up by their corner flag with seconds left to play
and end up conceding is really disappointing and it's a frustrating blow
to us but it's also a learning curve for the boys and that's important.'
The youth team return to action next weekend away at Southampton on
Saturday 14 November. Before then, Adi Viveash's Under-21s host Liverpool
at Cobham tomorrow (Sunday) in a game being screened live on Chelsea TV.
