http://www.chelseafc.com/article.asp?hlid=418306 Chelsea Reserves 1 Reading Reserves 2 Monday, Sep 25, 2006 The reserve team suffered the first home defeat by any Chelsea side this season when a late Phil Younghusband goal was not enough to spark a comeback against deserved winners. 預備隊在主場吃到第一場敗仗，揚哈斯本遲來的進球無力回天。 In a meeting of two sides with 100 per cent records before tonight, it was the visitors who created the most chances, finished the stronger and scored the opening two goals — although Brendan Rodgers team will be regretting good chances of their own that went begging, and could well have written a different story. 雖然客隊創造不少機會，但主要還是我們沒把握好自己的良機。 The opening period of the game contained some neat pass and move play by Chelsea but little incident. A long shot or two at each end - Chelsea's best effort by left-back Bertrand - were the only attempts on goal in the first 20 minutes. 前20分鐘很平淡，只有貝爾川一腳夠看。 The first round of applause of the evening was reserved for a very good save by Yves Ma Kalambay to keep Reading at bay. Then when a long Pettigrew pass opened up the left for Sinclair and Bertrand to attack for Chelsea, an initial clearance was picked up by captain Jimmy Smith. A surging run broke through the last line of defence but he smacked his shot just past the far post. Within two minutes Chelsea had fallen behind. It takes a lot to lob 6ft 6in Ma Kalambay but meeting a bouncing long ball 30 yards out, that is exactly what Reading centre-forward Shane Long did. Twenty-seven minutes of the game had passed. The deficit was nearly doubled just past the half-hour when former Burnley winger Glen Little volleyed a cross from the left just past the post. For all the tidy approach play at the other end, Chelsea were offering the visitors hope when they ventured forward. It took a brave Jack Cork block to keep a thunderous shot from Ulises De La Cruz from threatening the net again. Cork was soon spotted at the other end, shooting wide after a Jimmy Smith shot had been blocked following a swift Chelsea break. In truth, Graham Stack, the former Arsenal goalkeeper would not have been especially concerned. Reading attacked again a minute before the break with a cross-shot wide by Hayes after working space on the Chelsea right but it was not the final attempt of the half. That came from Hunt for the visitors, Ma Kalambay swiftly off his line to block the attempt well. Chelsea made a couple of early changes after the break — Sam Hutchinson forced off by injury and the more experienced Phil Younghusband brought on for Ben Sahar, making just his second start at this level. He had been quiet since the opening spell. By the time of the second switch, Reading had already struck again, and it was another for Shane Long. The Reading striker is not the tallest player the Chelsea rearguard will ever come up against so there will be questions asked over how he was able to meet and head in a right wing cross from just eight yards out. It took the very ends of Ma Kalamabay's fingertips to keep full-back Halls' well-struck effort out the net soon after, the volley coming from the Chelsea's keeper's own stretch and push away. On 57 minutes the best Chelsea chance of the game so far was missed. Fabio Ferreira, a nippy Portuguese wideman won his personal duel with the Reading left-back but when his cross reached an unmarked Younghusband, the substitute headed wastefully wide. Ma Kalambay dived full length to deny Long his hat-trick on 65 minutes and a minute later, another gilt-edged opportunity fell Younghusband's way — Cork playing the pass of the game to send him through but the shot was too close to the keeper who saved instinctively. Reading came back strongly and for the first time this season, the young Chelsea side looked a little over-run. Perhaps it should not have been a surprise. With the likes of De La Cruz, Gunnarsson, Little and Oster, the visitors had brought one of the most experienced sides playing in the Reserves League on the short 15 mile trip to Aldershot. Just when the game appeared to be slipping well beyond reach, a dreadful mistake by centre-back Peter Mate allowed Younghusband a 40-yard dash to goal unchallenged. At the third time of asking he made no mistake, slotting the ball low past Stack. There were 14 minutes to go. As Chelsea raced back to the centre, hopes were high of salvaging the game. But Reading were unshaken. Quite how Long failed to complete his hat-trick when he missed a chance just one notch up from a tap-in, he'll be asking himself all the way back to Berkshire. Both substitute Henry and striker Hunt could have added a third before the end with long shots not too far off-target.
