FA Youth Cup report: AFC Wimbledon 1 Chelsea 4
Tue 9 Feb 2016
Chelsea Under-18s booked themselves a place in the FA Youth Cup
quarter-finals with a hard-fought victory away at AFC Wimbledon.
The young Blues went ahead after a quarter of an hour through defender
Fikayo Tomori before the Dons levelled with an Alfie Egan header 20
minutes later. However, a brace from substitute Jacob Maddox and a
brilliant last-minute free-kick from Mukhtar Ali sealed the holders' safe
passage to the sixth round, where they will host Reading at Stamford
Bridge.
Joe Edwards made one change from the starting side that beat Manchester
United 5-1 in the previous round, with captain Jake Clarke-Salter
returning to the back three in place of Josh Grant. Trevoh Chalobah and
Tomori joined him in a back line protecting Nathan Baxter in goal.
The midfield five were unchanged with Kyle Scott, Mason Mount and Ali
operating centrally and Charlie Wakefield and Jay Dasilva at right
wing-back and left wing-back respectively. Tammy Abraham and Ike Ugbo,
with 38 goals between them in all competitions this season, led the line
up front.
The visitors, decked out in their all-white away strip, started brightly
in the Kingston rain as Ugbo forced a brave block from defender Emmanuel
Mensah following Wakefield's low cross from the right. Mount and Ugbo gave
goalkeeper Jack Wingate early work to do before the home stopper clawed
away Dasilva's effort after the wideman had made progress down the left.
However, it wasn't long before the Cup holders were celebrating an opener
with 15 minutes on the clock. The chance was carved out as a free-kick
from the right caused havoc in the Dons six-yard box, with Abraham
unmarked at the back post to nod back across goal. Ugbo was thwarted but
Tomori was not as his rifled deflected strike beat Wingate for the
defender's second goal of the campaign.
The visitors continue to enjoy control of the game, though Wimbledon were
managing to largely restrict the threat to their goal. Mount fired an
optimistic effort wide from distance and Ali lashed a shot inches wide via
a slight deflection, though the hosts soon grew into the game as the half
progressed.
Neset Bellikli went close with a dipping drive but it was down the left
flank that the Dons were causing growing problems, with dangerous high
crosses sent in to our six-yard box. Baxter punched clear on numerous
occasions, though he was helpless after 35 minutes as one such punch flew
high into the air and Alfie Egan, scorer of four Cup goals this season
including a brace away at Newcastle the last round, headed in to level the
scores.
In front of a passionate 3,455 crowd, the game started to take on a real
Cup tie feel, though Abraham might have silenced the swelling support when
Wakefield delivered a perfect cross. The striker, leaning back, could only
blaze over the bar from close range in the final action of note of the
half.
The second half restarted in similar fashion as Baxter punched well clear
from another teasing delivery, sparking a Chelsea counter-attack that was
cut short after Scott's pass for Wakefield carried too much power down the
right channel.
Dasilva put Wimbledon hearts in mouths with a looping cross from the left
that ricocheted away off the crossbar, before Scott brought a routine stop
from Wingate with a left-footed drive from 25 yards out. Edwards
introduced Jacob Maddox just before the hour mark and the young
midfielder's impact was instant as he fired us back in front within seven
minutes of his entrance.
Left winger Dasilva made progress down the left once more, though it was
Maddox picking up the ball that made the difference as the 17-year-old
beat two defenders before firing into the top corner from the edge of the
box, leaving the goalkeeper rooted to the spot.
Edwards reacted swiftly from the sidelines, switching to a 4-2-3-1 system
and swapping Ugbo for Under-16 defender Dujon Sterling. In keeping with
the tie, Wimbledon refused to go down without a fight and they came within
a whisker of levelling as Tomori sliced a clearance inches past his own
goal with everyone left to stand and watch.
We continued to defend our 18-yard box with conviction and settled the
contest on the break with six minutes remaining. Wakefield picked up a
loose ball on the edge of our box and drove 70 yards forward before teeing
up Maddox to finish with confidence and skill for his seventh goal of the
campaign.
Ali added a late fourth with a brilliant bending free-kick that put the
gloss on the scoreline and made it 15 goals scored in three Youth Cup ties
this campaign for Edwards's side, who will host the Royals in a
first-versus-second clash of the Under-18 Premier League South's top two.

FA Youth Cup reaction: Overcoming challenges
Wed 10 Feb 2016
Our Under-18s were winners at the end of a hard-fought FA Youth Cup fifth
round tie at AFC Wimbledon last night (Tuesday), booking themselves a
place in the competition's last eight.
Fikayo Tomori had fired us in front early on before Charlie Egan equalised
for the hosts and had the 3,455 crowd at Kingsmeadow dreaming of an
unlikely Cup upset against the holders. However, a second-half brace from
substitute Jacob Maddox and a stoppage-time free-kick from Mukhtar Ali
sealed our progress to quarter-finals, where we will host Reading at
Stamford Bridge.
After the game, manager Joe Edwards reflected on a battling victory at the
end of an evening that had all the hallmarks of a proper Cup tie, albeit
with a final scoreline that was a little harsh on our League Two hosts.
'Coming into the game, we knew exactly what to expect in terms of the
occasion and the environment,' Edwards told the official Chelsea website.
'It was a fantastic crowd and all credit must go to AFC Wimbledon for the
way they promoted and hosted it. The fans were brilliant and the pitch was
not ideal so it had all the settings of a Cup tie and of the challenges we
want to give our players in this competition.
'We started well in the first 15 minutes and looked like we were going to
be in control, as probably a lot of people expected, but when they
equalised we appeared to lose our way. The pitch is never an excuse for
top players but some of them had an off-key night, particularly on the
ball, and for all those reasons it because a very difficult night for us.
Even though we won 4-1, that is a scoreline that we didn't really justify.'
With the scores locked at 1-1 at half-time, the manager made a few
tactical and personnel changes early in the second half that ultimately
paid dividends. One of those was the introduction of Maddox, who replaced
Mason Mount after 58 minutes.
'Half-time was more of a wake-up call because maybe the first 10 minutes
lulled us into a false sense of security,' Edwards continued. 'We stepped
off a bit and let AFC Wimbledon cause us more problems than we should. In
the second half we changed our system a bit to fix a few problems we were
having but if more individuals in our team had been on their game then it
could have been far more straightforward.
'Competition for places in this team is massive and Jacob is obviously
disappointed not to have started a game in the competition yet but in both
the previous rounds he has come on and made an impact. It was a change we
made because we could see our passing game was not happening so we needed
someone who could travel with the ball and run forward. He came on and
gave us exactly that.'
Despite the difficulties experienced, the manager felt the encounter
provided unique learning opportunities for his young players.
'On the night, you are definitely frustrated because you want to see
better from the players and it is a shame that a lot of people have come
to watch and we haven't put on as good a display as we are capable of.
Having said that, it is a big learning cure for some of the boys; they
won't get many experiences like that this season so it was really valuable
for their development.'
The young Blues will now host Reading at Stamford Bridge in the
quarter-finals. A date and time for the tie will be confirmed on this
website in due course. The draw for the semi-final and final was made last
week, with Edwards's side handed potential semi-final and final first legs
away from home and second legs at home. Overcoming Reading will see them
rewarded with a two-legged tie against either Blackburn Rovers, Luton Town
or Preston North End.
