FA Youth Cup report: Liverpool 3 Chelsea 4
29 Jan 2022
Our young Blues were involved in a seven-goal thriller as we came back
from 3-0 down to secure a 4-3 win away from home in the fifth round of the
FA Youth Cup.

Ed Brand's boys trailed 2-0 after a below-par first half and, despite
improving after the restart with a double substitution, conceded again to
fall 3-0 behind before an hour was played.
However, in keeping with our recent history in this competition, the young
Blues pulled off a sensational comeback in the final 20 minutes of the
game, scoring four to secure our spot in the last eight of the
competition. Charlie Webster, Jude Soonsup-Bell and Malik Mothersille
pulled us level before Tudor Mendel-Idowu came off the bench to win it in
the fifth minute of added time.
== Slow start ==
Brand made two changes for this one, bringing in Edwin Andersson and new
signing Dylan Williams for Zain Silcott-Duberry and Mothersille.
It was a cold evening in Liverpool as the Reds started the game the better
of the two sides. We struggled to win the 50/50 challenges, which allowed
the home team to dictate the play and some early tough tackles on our boys
were an indication of the intent from Liverpool.

We were made to pay for our slow start as Liverpool captain Luke Chambers
picked up the ball from just inside his own half and carried it a long
way, driving towards goal before smashing it into Prince Adegoke's net. It
was an early blow in the tie.
== Positive response ==
The goal seemingly allowed us to settle down and control possession for a
while as we sought a quick response. Soonsup-Bell had an attempt on goal
which the keeper had covered as it hit the side-netting.
Our biggest moment of the half came midway through as neat combination
play in the middle of the park allowed Webster to play a ball to Harvey
Vale. The attacker patiently held on to possession and slipped in the
overlapping Andersson, who fired in a delightful cross that but for the
keeper's intervention would have allowed Soonsup-Bell to have a tap-in.
== Major setback ==
Just as we were looking to threaten even more, a further setback came as
the home side doubled their lead. A loose pass in the middle was pounced
upon and it allowed Kaide Gordon to be put clean through on goal. He
remained composed and slid a neat finish under Adegoke. The task was
looking like a mountain to climb for our young Blues.

== Lifeline ==
Gordon jinked his way into the box early in the second half and almost
grabbed his second of the game, flicking a shot past Adegoke but beyond
the far post. Despite that chance, we restarted much quicker and better,
with half-time substitutes Mothersille and Silko Thomas injecting some
much-needed pace into the attack, which was causing the Reds some trouble.
We were getting closer to the goal but nothing clear-cut was created. Yet
on the hour mark we fashioned another big moment as our attack combined
well to release Thomas in space at the far post. With the goal gaping and
the deficit surely about to be halved, keeper Harvey Davies made an
unbelievable save to fingertip the ball over the crossbar.
On such margins are games often won and lost. From the corner, a clearance
allowed the Merseyside team to run towards our goal. Melkamu Frauendorf
played a lovely weighted pass to Oakley Cannonier and, for the second
time, a tidy finish followed as the ball was slid under Adegoke to make it
3-0.
== All Chelsea ==
There were several breaks in play which allowed Brand to give some words
of instruction and encouragement to his demoralised players, encouraging
them to retain their belief. This seemingly did the job in quick time as
Webster soon won a duel in the middle of the park, drove forward and let
fly from 25 yards out, finding the bottom corner of the net with the help
of a useful deflection.

Charlie Webster scored the first goal in our comeback
It was what we deserved after our second-half performance and we struck
again with just over 10 minutes of the game to play. Thomas and Williams
exchanged passes, with the latter laying the ball off to Lewis Hall.
Our recent senior debutant delivered a fantastic cross in from the left
which found the head of Soonsup-Bell and the striker produced a clever
flicked header to bring us to within one goal of the hosts.

Thomas proved to be an inspired substitution as he beat his man to deliver
a dangerous cross which almost found Mothersille in the six-yard-box. It
was all Chelsea at this moment in the game as we were playing solely in
the Liverpool half.
A huge opportunity soon went begging as a cutback into the area found Hall
on his right foot but the teenager smashed his effort onto the bar in what
felt like a big moment. However, our pressure was unrelenting and we soon
found a deserved leveller.
After a cross from Vale into the box, a clearance from the home side
blasted off Mothersille into the goal to complete an improbable comeback
and make it 3-3.

Malik Mothersille scored the third to complete our turnaround
Our boys were now in full control of the game and searching for a winner
before the need for extra-time and penalties. We almost secured it as a
Mothersille cross found the head of Soonsup-Bell but his effort looped
just over the bar.
In the fifth minute of stoppage time, up stepped Mendel-Idowu to complete
our turnaround as he tapped the loose ball in with an outstretched leg
after a Thomas cross to give us the victory and secure our spot in the
quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup.

Youth Cup reaction: Ed Brand on 'an unbelievable feeling that will live
long in the memory!'
30 Jan 2022
Our Under-18s pulled off an incredible comeback against Liverpool in the
fifth round of the FA Youth Cup last night and afterwards head coach Ed
Brand was able to provide an insight into what occurred.
https://i.imgur.com/U8xXDij.jpg
The Blues were trailing 3-0 with 20 minutes left on the clock in
Merseyside and our hopes of reclaiming the Youth Cup crown were fading
fast. However, a few inspired substitutions and a whole lot of self-belief
helped inspire one of our most memorable turnarounds in the competition's
history.
Charlie Webster and Jude Soonsup-Bell got us to within a goal of the Reds
before Malik Mothersille notched a bizarre leveller with three minutes of
normal time to play. That appeared enough to send us into extra-time but
Brand's boys were more interested in finishing the job before then and
Tudor Mendel-Idowu, another substitute, wrote his name into Youth Cup
folklore with an instinctive finish to snatch the win in the fifth minute
of added time.
After the final whistle and some deserved celebrations, Brand spoke to us
to reflect on a roller-coaster night of emotions as his side marched on
into the quarter-finals.
'It was an unbelievable feeling,' he claimed. 'I've never experienced a
feeling like that in football.
'It's all about getting through to the next round and at 3-0 down after 70
minutes, we never lost faith. From there, our ability and quality shone
through.'
While the realist in Brand was disappointed with elements of the
performance that saw his team fall three goals behind, the over-riding
feeling was one of pride in the effort of his players to keep on fighting
and ultimately claim an improbable victory. The goal from Webster to pull
it back to 3-1 was decisive and, with 20 minutes remaining, left enough
time for the comeback to be completed.
'We didn't show consistently enough what we are capable of but I'm
ecstatic for the boys in the end,' he added.
'Charlie's goal was pivotal to setting us off and we could sense the
momentum shifting in our favour then. We knew we were capable of getting
the win with hard work and quality. Liverpool are an excellent academy and
team so we did incredibly well to win it in the 90 minutes.
'This is a squad effort and now we look forward to the last eight at
Stamford Bridge.'
That tie will be played against either Newcastle United or Blackpool
before 26 February.
