U18南区联赛第10轮 https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2021/01/23/under-18s-report--west-ham-chelsea Under-18s report: West Ham 0 Chelsea 4 23 Jan 2021 Chelsea's Under-18s took maximum points from this morning's London derby win against West Ham. https://i.imgur.com/jydG8Yw.jpg A Luke Badley-Morgan opener gave Chelsea control and then a late flurry of goals from Alfie Gilchrist, Charlie Webster and Leo Castledine followed after the break. Chelsea rarely looked like conceding all morning and they will be particularly pleased with the clean sheet. Academy football returned for Chelsea on Saturday morning with a visit to our east London rivals. For this fixture Ed Brand named a young side which saw two schoolboys start in attack, while Ethan Wady made his first appearance of the season having spent the first half of the term on loan at National League side Dartford. https://i.imgur.com/8a2jQXD.jpg Ethan instructs his defence == Finally back in action == After a cagey opening 10 minutes Chelsea slotted into gear nicely. Silko Thomas and Ronnie Stutter warmed the gloves of the West Ham keeper, before Lewis Hall converted Dion Rankine's low cross at the back post. Unfortunately the official on the far side had his flag raised for an offside and our goal was chalked off. The overturned goal didn't damped Chelsea spirits though as their attacking play only intensified. Hall was involved in play again as Ben Elliott curled an afford inches wide of the target. == Advantage Blues == Our attacking threat finally yielded a goal and it came from an unlikely source. West Ham failed to clear their lines from a corner-kick and defender Badley-Morgan pounced upon the ball to volley home with his lesser favoured right foot, 0-1 Chelsea. https://i.imgur.com/fUUnUYP.jpg Luke opened the scoring on Saturday morning West Ham's first clear attempt on goal came from George Earthy who tried his luck from distance after creating an inch of space for himself in midfield. Thankfully there was no danger to Wady's net from the wayward shot. == Comfortable half-time lead == Our goal advantage didn't look under any immediate threat at the 30-minute mark and excellent all-round play by Gilchrist almost earned us a second. Taking care of his primary role first, Gilchrist stopped the West Ham attack and drove out of defence looking for a forward pass. Stutter spotted an opportunity and curved his run to stay onside and beat his markers latching onto his team-mate's pass, after advancing into the box he fired at goal but was left frustrated as the post stood in his way. The last two chances before the break fell Chelsea's way, first Badley-Morgan was in the box again, but this time he could only glance a header wide from Webster's free-kick. Then, Stutter prodded behind from Rankine's low cross. == Slow restart == Both teams returned to play unchanged and although West Ham were in desperate search of an equalising goal with the fairer share of the ball, they were unable to breach the Blue's defensive line. == Gilchrist grabs Chelsea's second == Legs were tiring as the clock wore down but a burst of energy on the right saw Thomas win Chelsea a corner-kick. Webster aimed for the near post and Gilchrist was first to react powering a header home to double our lead. It was a much deserved goal for the defender who had been impressive all morning. https://i.imgur.com/eQboZEi.jpg Alfie was pleased with his goal which gave Chelsea some breathing space == Webster and Castledine wrap it up == The points were all but sealed with eight minutes to go when another attack from the right yielded a goal. Thomas' run and then cross into the box fell to Webster who had the easy task of slotting home from 10 yards. We were deep into injury time when substitute Castledine bundled home another Thomas cross from the right for our fourth and final goal of the morning. It's a win that Brand and his players will be proud of as it sees us move up into sixth place in the Under-18 Premier League standings. == What's next? == A trip to Southampton is next for our youngsters, kick-off next Saturday is 11am. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2021/01/26/under-18s-reaction-and-highlights Under-18s reaction and highlights from West Ham win 26 Jan 2021 Our Under-18s were back in action after just over four weeks without a game and produced a display worthy of the three points in Saturday's win over West Ham. https://i.imgur.com/9vddZ2d.jpg Luke Badley-Morgan opened the morning's scoring at Little Heath and goals from Alfie Gilchrist, Charlie Webster and Leo Castledine followed in the second half to get 2021 off to a positive start over our London rivals. Head coach Ed Brand was left pleased with his team's showing and highlighted the positive blend between schoolboys and scholars in his post-match interview. 'I'm really pleased with the way we handled the game,' he told the official Chelsea website. 'We're in strange times and we haven't played for six weeks but you wouldn't have known that after today's performance. 'There was an opportunity for some schoolboys to play and they were all excellent, which is what this Academy has always been about. Equally as important were the older players - Dion Rankine, Charlie Wiggett and Ben Elliott all set the standard for what was a nice mix. I thought we were excellent and it was a professional away performance.' Badley-Morgan's volley provided some comfort at the break and Brand was happy at that point, but he was sure to remind his players that there was still work to be done after the restart. 'I was happy at the break. We deserved our lead but I was a little frustrated that we weren't ahead by more and the game was by no means done,' he continued. 'We had to approach the second half in a similar way to how we approached the first and I think we did just that. We defended the box really well after the break and when we got the second goal from the set-piece through Alfie Gilchrist, who was superb, it gave us more confidence as a team. We were very good value for the four goals.' Up next for our youngsters is a trip to Southampton this weekend. Kick-off at Staplewood on Saturday morning is 11am.
