http://www.chelseafc.com/article.asp?hlid=345195 Tottenham Reserves 2 Chelsea Reserves 0 Wednesday, Dec 14, 2005 Chelsea were beaten by a strong Tottenham side tonight, Wednesday, who should have scored more. Steven Watt was sent off with five minutes to go. Chelsea had a substitutes' bench full of people who travelled or played in the FA Youth Cup on Monday, goalkeeper Ma Kalambay apart. There was a second minute escape when Tottenham hit the bar with a Rasiak header from close range. The fresh reserve team settled down to some comfortable football with Morais getting good possession on a couple of occasions. There was hope when Tottenham goalkeeper Burch completely missed Tillen's corner, but it didn't last long. Rasiak fired a 25 yarder in the 15th minute into Pidgeley's right-hand corner, an outstanding strike, to give Tottenham the lead and suddenly they seemed very penetrating. Tottenham's experience served them well. Pamarot was physically and technically superior at the back when Chelsea attacked, and Lennon used his pace well, drawing a booking out of Grant on the half hour for a late challenge. Only Brown and Davis in midfield were erratic with their passing, but they were physically dominant. Chelsea worked hard but created little. By half-time Burch has not been tested, Mancienne replaced Grant four minutes into the second-half because the holding midfielder was beginning to walk a tightrope with his challenges. But Tottenham, who had made a double substitution at the interval, looked the physically stronger side, and when Hallfredson drove a 25 yarder for the top corner three minutes later, it took an agile Pidgeley tip-over to keep the score at 1-0. Jimmy Smith was making his first start since dislocating his collarbone, and once he tired he was replaced by Sinclair 20 minutes into the second-half. Keenan moved from the left flank to go into Smith's position, Younghusband moved to the left and Sinclair went to centre- forward. But it was Pidgeley who was immediately called into action, swooping low to his left to hold Hallfredson's deflected 20 yarder. At last, in the 70th minute, Chelsea fashioned a real chance. Younghusband on the left turned and crossed with his right foot, and Hollands found space for a free header, but directed it just the wrong side of the post before holding his head in anguish. Quickly, Tottenham extended their lead. Pettigrew got away with a foul because Tottenham kept possession, but fouled again, then said something and was booked. From the free-kick imposing Rasiak headed the second. Pidgeley had to be alert to hold another deflected shot, this time from Daniels, and the team had to be careful not to lose defensive shape. When Hallfredson was given the space to deliver another unchallenged cross, Watt had to be sharp to stop Rasiak getting his hat-trick. With five minutes left substitute Simmonds was felled when running for goal. Chelsea had two men free and possession, but still the referee whistled up. Furious Watt and Hollands remonstrated and referee booked the Tottenham player. But as he did Tillen took a quick free-kick. The referee also booked him. When he retook the free-kick it went for a corner, and while Chelsea were waiting for it to be taken the referee saw Watt make a gesture to the crowd and sent him off. However, the ten men had one of their best efforts when Sinclair volleyed just wide after Younghusband had flicked on Tillen's pass.
