Leasing.com Trophy report: Walsall 3 Chelsea 2
03 Dec 2019
A spirited Chelsea display wasn't enough to progress through to the Round
of 16 in the Leasing.com Trophy as we succumbed to a narrow defeat at
League Two Walsall.

A near perfect first half display saw Tariq Lamptey have us two goal ahead
at the break - his brace inside the first ten minutes complimented the
performance as Chelsea looked in control.
However Walsall found a way back into the game by means of a penalty kick
following the restart, it gave the hosts the glimmer of hope they needed
to start their comeback.
Wes McDonald fired fiercely into the net for the leveller before Dan Scarr
took aim from distance and book his teams place in the last 16 of the
competition.
Development head coach Andy Myers named a changed side for this knockout
stage, captain Marc Guehi was in the heart of defence and Billy Gilmour
just in front of him. Meanwhile, goal scorer from the last round Jon
Russell, took a place on the bench.

Conditions in the Midlands were very chilly but perfect for a game of
football and the Blues got off to a red hot start.
Marc Guehi spotted the run of defensive partner Lamptey from the back, the
full-back's pace got the him to the ball before Liam Roberts allowing the
England youth international to slot home into an empty net. 1-0 Chelsea.
It got better for the Blues seven minutes later and even better for
Lamptey who notched his second of the evening. Tino Anjorin's acute pass
found the defender out wide in the box – he took a touch and then fired
into the roof of the net leaving Roberts without a chance.
Charlie Brown looked to get in on the scoring act within the first quarter
but his curling effort whistled inches wide of the post following another
Anjorin pass. It was a ruthless start by Myers's men who looked
comfortable in all areas.
Walsall's first meaningful attempt on goal came after 25 minutes of play,
Caolan Lavery took aim at goal from 18-yards but Jamie Cumming made the
save look comfortable.
The hosts were beginning to get hold of the ball in threatening positions
towards the end of the half, Lavery's cross dropped to Shay Facey on the
edge of the box but he was off balance at the point of connection - again,
allowing Cumming to easily gather the danger.

Lamptey fires his second goal of the evening into the roof of the net
The home side needed a route back into the game and almost found one when
Cumming was called into action to deny a swerving shot from Rory Holden.
It was a bright start to the second-half.
Walsall were given the opportunity to reduce the deficit from the spot
when a cross from the right struck the hand of Ian Maatsen – Cumming got
a hand to Lavery's kick but it wasn't enough to keep the ball out. A blow
soon after the restart for the Blues.
After a quieter period the locals were celebrating a second of the
evening, however the cheers were cut short as referee Brett Huxtable
deemed Rory Gaffney to have committed a found prior to converting a cross
at the far post. We were heading into an interesting final 15 minutes.
In the midst of all the action we lost our goal scorer, Lamptey, through
an injury sustained while defending his net – Jon Russell was his
replacement.
That second goal did come moments later however, this time trickery from
Wes McDonald gave the winger the yard of space he needed to fire on target
using the far post as an aid.
Seven additional minutes were signalled by the official and the game
looked to be heading to penalties to decided which team progressed
further – but Dan Scarr riffled a shot into the bottom corner from
distance to snatch a place in the Round of 16 from Chelsea's grasp.
