http://www.chelseafc.com/article.asp?hlid=303921 Coventry City Youth 1 Chelsea Youth 1 Saturday, Sep 03, 2005 Chelsea left Coventry, who were in last season’s League Play-Off Final with Blackburn, with a draw this morning, Saturday, but were disappointed not to have won. Lacking Jack Cork, Fabio Ferreira and Ricardo Fernandes, all away on international duty, they took the lead through Shaun Cummings after 25 minutes. The speedy striker latched on to a mistake by the central defender and goalkeeper and ran the ball home. But six minutes later a free cross was delivered from the Coventry left and the equaliser scored. Before half-time a penalty was harshly given when a shot from 20 yards hit Sam Hutchinson who was covering himself, but debutant goalkeeper Rhys Taylor dived to his right to smother the shot and make an excellent save. In the second-half James Simmonds hit a fine shot after a terrific bit of skill, but it struck the crossbar and popped out. There were bookings for Taylor, James Younghusband and Lee Sawyer. Manager Brendan Rodgers said: “This was another overall very good performance against older opposition. We had a very good first-half when we created chances as we moved the ball well. In the second-half we needed to get our shots off much quicker than we did, but we still created enough chances to win. “We showed resilience towards the end against much more physical opposition. Coventry were the runners-up last season in the National League Play-off. We’ve now played two away games this season and shown up well in both performances.” Team: (4-1-2-1-2) Taylor J Younghusband Worley Hutchinson Bertrand Furman (c) Simmonds Sawyer (Gradolielski) Sinclair Watkins Cummings (Bridcutt) by Neil Barnett -- Mourinho.... O! Always believe in your soul, you've got the power to know, you're indestructible, always believe in Mourinho... O! --
