Today it was all about Chelsea in a one-sided encounter that mirrored the fixture between the sides in September. Abraham got his sixth of the competition from the penalty spot on 16 minutes and the lead was doubled shortly after through the lively Wakefield. Scott capped another industrious performance with a deflected third five minutes before the interval. The second period was shorter on goalmouth action but the Blues finished strongly and got a fourth through Abraham late on as our fine run in this competition continued. Viveash made six changes to the side who beat Dinamo Kiev three weeks ago including first starts in the competition for Jared Thompson and Charlie Wakefield. Ola Aina came in at right-back alongside Joseph Colley and Fikayo Tomori. Charlie Colkett captained from midfield. We started brightly against a physical Maccabi side who were strong in the tackle, with mixed results. Both Colkett and Aina felt the full force of a couple of late challenges early on. After a penetrative run from deep Jay Dasilva was dispossessed in a legitimate fashion as he looked set to shoot. The hosts were playing a dangerous game though and paid a heavier price on 16 minutes. Wakefield delivered a low cross from the right byline which Muheim got to ahead of Bar Galili six yards out. He was chopped down by the Maccabi defender and the referee had no hesitation in pointing to the spot. Abraham sent Haviv Ohayon the wrong way to applause from those of a blue persuasion inside the three-year-old, 13,000-capacity Netanya Stadium located between Tel Aviv and Haifa. Muheim nearly doubled our advantage immediately but saw his low drive well saved. It would only be another couple of minutes before we did get goal number two, however, as Wakefield raced into yards of clear green grass behind the Maccabi defence before coolly sliding his shot under Ohayon. Two was almost three midway through the half as the busy Oyahon stretched out his left leg to expertly deny Abraham, the striker having latched on to a clever Wakefield through-pass. The home keeper used his legs to good effect again on 39 minutes after the bombarding Dasilva got clear and looked set to score. The danger wasn't over and when Wakefield teed up Scott on the edge of the box, the midfielder's shot took a hefty deflection taking it over the diving Ohayon. 3-0. Adi Viveash's youngsters were full value for their half-time lead having looked a constant menace in attack as well as resolute at the back when required, and good, solid defending was needed in the opening stages of the second period as the hosts kept the ball better. In the first half their only chance came when Lazar Durovic missed his kick 12 yards out and after the break Jared Thompson made just a couple of saves, denying sub Omri Haramati on both occasions. Kasey Palmer was introduced on the hour and he tested Ohayon with a stinging low drive after we worked a free-kick short, the same man heading the resulting wide. Mukhtar Ali nearly scored the goal of the game with 15 minutes remaining having pinched possession in midfield, trying an ambitious lob from fully 35 yards out which the retreating Ohayon did well to tip over from right underneath his crossbar. Palmer blasted a shot into the side-netting with 10 to play after the speedy Wakefield's dangerous cross was only half-cleared. Palmer then turned creator, slipping Abraham through one-on-one. The striker, now wearing the captain's armband after Colkett's withdrawal, slotted his finish past Ohayon. Aina drew one final save from Ohayon with a powerful header, the final meaningful action before the whistle sounded on another comprehensive Youth League victory. There will be full 90-minute re-runs of the game on Chelsea TV throughout tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7.15am, 11.15am and 10.15pm. == Manager reaction == Reflecting on the performance, Adi Viveash considered it a performance that was good in patches with some players off their normal game. 'Those players who were good did enough for us to win the game,' he added. 'We had a spell when the goals came and they were good. Some of the movement was excellent. It was nice to see Charlie Wakefield in his first start in the UEFA Youth League score a great goal and Tammy Abraham got his customary couple. We are pleased with the clean sheet, that was important, but the main objective was three points and we got those. 'We were trying to peak at 2pm in training yesterday and today in the match, and we didn't quite get there today but we are going to be interested to see how the boys handle the next stage of this trip because the recovery is important. There are two big games over the weekend with the Under-18s in a top-of-the-table clash and the Under-21s versus Sunderland who are top of our league and it is vital to prepare for those. 'The people here in Israel really looked after us and made us feel very welcome. It is a place many of us would never normally come to and that is one of the things Chelsea can give you and we are all grateful for that.'
