Yet their advantage was quickly wiped out as West Ham scored a penalty of their own, won by Grady Diangana and scored by Joe Powell. The contest was open and swung both ways, though the Hammers were hindered early after the restart as Tunji Akinola saw red for a second bookable offence. It was a foolish foul and a decisive moment as the visitors grew in stature, scoring the winner 23 minutes from time when Brown's composed finish found the bottom corner. It took us on to 11 points after the opening six league games of the season and tied us top with Arsenal. With the weekend having a West Ham focus, the young Blues headed east 24 hours prior to the first team's trip to the London Stadium and that meant four changes from our most recent PL2 assignment as Marcin Bulka, Ethan Ampadu, Lucas Piazon and Callum Hudson-Odoi all dropped out of the side. Jamie Cumming replaced Bulka in goal, while Marc Guehi, Tariq Uwakwe and Brown all came into the team as eighth hosted fourth in the country's leading development league. Edwards continued with the 3-5-2 system preferred and honed since pre-season and the manager selected Joseph Colley and captain Josh Grant to continue alongside Guehi at the back. George McEachran has been instrumental in a deep-lying, controlling midfield role and the 18-year-old started again to keep his record of playing every league minute so far this campaign, while Gilmour and Uwakwe joined him in a three-man central midfield. Juan Castillo and Tariq Lamptey operated at left wing-back and right wing-back respectively, while Daishawn Redan partnered Brown up top. https://i.imgur.com/rIeo1B1.jpg The Hammers included England Under-20 international Reece Oxford in their starting 11 along with the league's highest assist-maker Powell though it was the visitors, wearing yellow, who started brightest in rain-drenched Dagenham. Lamptey provided an early warning sign, stealing possession from Powell on halfway and bursting forward in typically dangerous fashion before delivering for Brown to turn narrowly wide. However, the home side's resistance lasted just seven minutes as we broke the deadlock from the penalty spot. A neat move was initiated by McEachran, who clipped an inviting pass out to Castillo on the left flank, with the Dutchman in turn delivering first time and low into the centre. As Brown prepared to take aim, Oxford came sliding in from behind and took away the legs of the striker. Gilmour stepped up and converted with confidence for his second goal of the season. https://i.imgur.com/iGqKQpm.jpg Billy Gilmour fires us in front from the spot The Blues were bidding to build on three wins from three away from home this term but their lead lasted just five minutes as West Ham levelled through a penalty of their own. The right-sided combination of full-back Ben Johnson and winger Diangana linked well, with the latter taking on Castillo down the outside and going down under a stretching challenge. The referee took his time before deeming it a foul and Powell picked up the task of following Gilmour's lead and finding the net from 12 yards. Steve Potts's side came into the weekend boasting the second-best attack in the league but also with the second-worst defence, which may have proved a significant factor in such an open contest between the two London sides. Cumming was busy in the Chelsea goal, saving from Sean Adarkwa moments after the equaliser before pushing away Diangana's fierce striker after Uwakwe had conceded possession with a loose pass in midfield. The hosts had momentum and went close again after 20 minutes as Bernardo Rosa moved easily into space on the edge of the box and fired a deflected shot just beyond the far post. Our youngsters managed to stem the flow midway through the first period and started to pose an attacking threat of their own once again. Much of their joy came from wide areas and Redan soon turned provider from the right, though his low cross was inches in front of strike partner Brown in the six-yard box. Trott then warmed his palms with a crucial intervention to push away Castillo's delivery before Adarkwa spurned a promising sight at goal down the other end. https://i.imgur.com/2kcWOMi.jpg Juan Castillo flicks on a header on the touchline Only Aji Alese's last-ditch block eight yards out prevented the Blues scoring again before the break. A left-sided corner swung in by Gilmour was kept alive by Grant at the back post and the loose ball fell kindly for Colley but the Sweden Under-19 defender was thwarted by an excellent defensive intervention. The Blues were buoyed early in the second period as the Hammers were reduced to 10 men six minutes after the restart. Akinola had been booked early in the game for a blatant pull of Redan's shirt and the left-back was caught committing a similar offence as the visitors tried to break forward on the counter-attack. It was hardly subtle and resulted in the hosts suffering with a numerical disadvantage for over half an hour. Diangana had earlier tested Cumming with a curling left-footed effort that lacked the accuracy to trouble our keeper, though the extra man on the field soon started to reflect in the game's play. Oxford did well to acrobatically clear a teasing corner but there was little to be done as Edwards's side took the lead for the second time in the afternoon with a quarter of the contest remaining. Gilmour added an assist to his earlier penalty goal, threading a lovely pass forward to find Brown accelerating down the inside-left channel. The teenage striker had already banked a hard-working shift up top but he showed great composure to open up his body and slot the ball beyond Trott and in off the base of the far post. https://i.imgur.com/hfgiZUr.jpg Charlie Brown slots in the winner midway through the second half Edwards soon made alterations to ensure his side's latest advantage was preserved. Conor Gallagher replaced the goalscorer Brown, adding presence in midfield, and the shape tweaked to a 3-4-3. The measures helped us control the final 25 minutes, with the only complaint being that further goals weren't added. Uwakwe's left-footed shot forced Trott into a low save before the goalkeeper denied Lamptey following a neat exchange with substitute Martell Taylor-Crossdale down the right. In stoppage time, Uwakwe flashed a drive across the face of goal but it mattered little to the final result as the Blues took the points.
