PL2 report: Man City 2 Chelsea 2
23 Aug 2019
Our development squad showed great character in Manchester on Friday
night, coming from 2-0 down to secure a point and continue our unbeaten
start to the season.

Goals from Billy Gilmour and Marc Guehi rescued our youngsters late on to
take us top of the early Premier League 2 standings, though it required
plenty of patience and persistence up against a City side who looked in
control for long periods.
The hosts did their damage in 11 minutes either side of half-time, with
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru forcing an own goal just before the break and Jayden
Braaf doubling the lead shortly after the restart.
However, Andy Myers's boys kept on fighting and slowly began to turn the
tide in our favour. Gilmour pulled one back from the spot before Guehi
converted from close range in the final minute to ensure a share of the
PL2 points.
There were four changes from Monday's impressive victory over Liverpool at
Stamford Bridge, with Charlie Brown among those returning up front and
George McEachran back in midfield after a period of absence through
injury.

Marcel Lavinier at right-wing and Karlo Ziger in goal were the other
players recalled as Myers continued with the 4-2-3-1 system that has
served his side so well in the opening weeks of the new season. Tariq
Lamptey joined captain Guehi, Clinton Mola and Ian Maatsen in offering
defensive protection for Ziger's goal, while Gilmour partnered McEachran
at the base of our midfield.
Further forward, Tariq Uwakwe lined up in the number 10 role, with
Lavinier and Juan Castillo on the flanks in support of striker Brown. City
included Morgan Rogers in their forward line, the England Under-17
international having been acquired from West Brom in the summer.
It was the former Baggie who went closest to breaking the deadlock in the
opening half hour as the hosts were able to fashion the clearer sights at
goal early on. His turn 25 yards from goal created the space to line up a
shot and only the woodwork denied City the lead as the winger's bending
effort cannoned back off Ziger's post. Prior to that chance, Mola had
thwarted Nabil Touaizi with an excellent block inside the 18-yard box.

Mola made a crucial block in our box in the first half
Myers's men were enjoying more possession but failing to translate that
into a serious threat on Louie Moulden's goal. Brown provided the biggest
worry for the young goalkeeper with 10 minutes on the clock after latching
on to a searching forward pass from Guehi, though he was forced wide
towards the corner flag and his cross for Uwakwe in the box was headed
clear from danger.
Lamptey then emulated Mola with another crucial intervention in the
penalty box, sliding in to poke the ball away from Rogers's control as the
forward advanced into a dangerous shooting position from the left.
City ended the half strongly as they pushed to break the deadlock. Adrian
Bernabe went close with a deflected drive that wrong-footed Ziger but
fortunately bounced just wide, while Braaf's pace and trickery was proving
difficult for his Dutch compatriot Maatsen to deal with.

Uwakwe shields the ball
The breakthrough goal arrived five minutes before half-time in slightly
unfortunate circumstances for the visitors. Rogers fed Dele-Bashiru on the
overlap and the attacking midfielder's low delivery was turned past Ziger
for an own goal via Guehi's outstretched boot.
There was still hope for the Blues at the break and a restart on the front
foot provided positive signs, though that optimism was dented further by a
second City goal inside six minutes of the second period. Braaf burst away
from Mola down the inside-right channel before placing an emphatic finish
across the keeper and into the bottom corner, leaving Ziger with no chance.
Myers responded by making changes from the touchline, introducing Thierno
Ballo and Tino Anjorin in quick succession, with the former offering a
bright spark in the final third. His immediate involvement was a
first-time left-footed cross towards Brown that required careful attention
from the City defenders, before the Austrian took aim himself moments
later but failed to trouble Moulden with a weak low strike.
City continued to create chances of their own and Touaizi was the man at
the centre of the danger. The Spanish striker teed up Dele-Bashiru to fire
high over the crossbar on the hour mark, before juggling an opportunity
for himself five minutes later but again the accuracy let the hosts down.
Chelsea refused to give in and made life extremely difficult for their
opponents in the final 20 minutes. There was a big shout for a penalty
following a bizarre passage of play in which City keeper Moulden picked up
a pass back from his own defender, gifting the Blues an indirect free-kick
just a few yards out. Gilmour rolled it for Anjorin to strike and the ball
appeared to be blocked by a defender's arm, though referee James Bell waved
away the appeals.

Rogers then headed away from under his own crossbar as we intensified our
pressure, with Castillo bringing a smart save from Moulden and Anjorin
denied by a brave block on the edge of the box.
With eight minutes remaining, the visitors halved the deficit but that
chance only came courtesy of an important save from Ziger to keep the
score at 2-0. Touaizi had escaped in behind on the break and advanced
menacingly from the left wing, though our Croatian keeper stood tall
before flinging out a foot to keep the ball out.
It was 2-1 moments later as Anjorin's impact paid dividends, the
17-year-old driving forward into the box and falling under the challenge
of a City defender. Unlike moments earlier, this time the referee pointed
to the spot and Gilmour stepped up to confidently convert from 12 yards.
As we pushed for a leveller, it looked like Moulden would deny us as he
first grasped Anjorin's bending free-kick, then sprung to the top corner
to claw out Gilmour's goal-bound effort. With time running out, Guehi
stepped in with a captain's moment. A period of pressure in and around the
City box brought rewards as the defender got on the end of a dropping ball
to turn it in from close range.
There was even time remaining for us to go close to a winner as Anjorin
fired a stinging shot at goal that Moulden spilled but gathered at the
second attempt with Brown lurking nearby. In the end, a point apiece was a
fair result and keeps our positive momentum going. Next up is Tottenham at
Aldershot next Friday night.
