First-half goals from Dujon Sterling and Martell Taylor-Crossdale did the damage at the Stadio Tre Fontane in the south of the capital, and our win coupled with a surprise defeat for Atletico Madrid against Qarabag leaves us in a strong position in Group C with two games to play. A victory in Azerbaijan in our next fixture will guarantee a place in the last 16. This success owed much to an excellent team performance, and even though Roma got one back late on, the young Blues stayed solid at the back to close out the victory and avenge our defeat to the same opposition at Cobham in the previous matchday. Unlike that day in Surrey, Joe Edwards was able to call on two of his England Under-17 World Cup winners, Callum Hudson-Odoi and George McEachran, who were back from India in time to feature in the Italian capital. There were three other changes from the reverse fixture a fortnight ago, including a return between the posts for Jamie Cumming. After an even opening quarter-of-an-hour, in which Chelsea settled quickly without creating anything of note, it was Roma's Alessio Riccardi who had the first attempt of the afternoon, skewing well wide on the stretch. Barely a minute later Chelsea led. From a deep Hudson-Odoi corner, Reece James cleverly steered a looping header back across goal. Andrea Romagnoli was forced into a stretching save, and the loose ball fell at Trevoh Chalobah's feet, who quickly controlled and fired into the danger zone. Sterling was in the right place to take a touch and turn it in from a couple of yards out. We doubled our advantage five minutes later. A Roma attack broke down and we quickly took advantage of their lack of shape. Harvey St Clair released Taylor-Crossdale, the furthest man forward but inside our half. The no.9 raced clear and placed a confident finish past Romagnoli. It might have been three but Hudson-Odoi shot wide at the end of a typically mazy run through the hosts' spine. Then Taylor-Crossdale delayed with a good sight of goal and was tackled before getting his shot away. The hosts grew in confidence in the closing stages of the first half and might have reduced the deficit before the break, but Riccardi narrowly missed the target when well-placed 16 yards out. Down the other end, Hudson-Odoi nearly caught Romagnoli out from a corner but the keeper recovered, and so it was with it a deserved two-goal lead that the Blues headed to the dressing rooms. When play restarted there was a greater sense of urgency about Roma, and it required Chalobah to make an important defensive header from a dinked cross that had cleared Cumming. Riccardo Cappa then hit the side-netting after finding space in the box. Not that the Blues didn't remain a threat. St Clair rattled the underside of the bar at the end of another patient passing move involving the excellent McEachran, and Grant's follow-up header was blocked close to the goal-line. On the hour, Andrea Marcucci teed up a volley for himself and let fly. A slight deflection took it past the post. Edwards withdrew McEachran and Hudson-Odoi for Billy Gilmour and Luke McCormick respectively after an excellent first outing back in Chelsea colours for the recent World Cup winners. The result might have been sealed with 20 minutes to play when Sterling found Taylor-Crossdale who beat the defender but not Romagnoli, sprawling to his right to claw out the striker's low effort. Soon after, a header from McCormick took Grant's cross away from Taylor-Crossdale as we increasingly threatened on the break. But our hosts did find the net with 10 minutes to play when sub Keres Masangu teed up Zan Celar and his first-time finish was emphatically struck into the bottom left-hand corner, giving Cumming no chance. In response Sterling, a constant menace, burst past two defenders before squaring to Taylor-Crossdale, but he couldn't guide his volley on target. Roma threatened occasionally in the final minutes but Cumming was dominant when required and the outfielders in front of him restricted our hosts to no clear chances, securing a great three points in the Eternal City. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/11/ uyl-reaction--pleasing-performance.html UYL reaction: Pleasing performance Wed 1 Nov 2017 Joe Edwards believes his team's 2-1 UEFA Youth League win against Roma yesterday could prove hugely significant in terms of our hopes of progressing to the knockout stages of the competition. Two first-half goals in quick succession, scored by Dujon Sterling and Martell Taylor-Crossdale, put the Blues in control of the contest, and despite the fact Roma pulled one back to set up a nervy last 10 minutes, we held on for an important victory. Having been beaten 2-0 at Cobham by Roma a fortnight ago, Edwards was delighted to see his team bounce back from that particular setback in a positive manner. 'I was pleased with the result and the overall performance,' he said. 'It was a difficult first 15 minutes but from around the 20-minute mark we started to knock the ball around well and make it difficult for them, and then we obviously scored the two goals. 'It was a much-improved performance compared with the game at Cobham because that wasn't like us at all. We had George McEachran and Callum Hudson-Odoi coming back into the team and strengthening the group, so we felt confident going into the game. 'We had to dig in towards the end, after they scored, but that's what it's all about.' McEachran and Hudson-Odoi, who were part of the England Under-17 team which won the World Cup for their age group on Saturday courtesy of a memorable comeback against Spain, only joined up with the Chelsea squad on Monday following their exploits in India. The pair slotted back in seamlessly, however, and having both been named in the starting line-up by Edwards they responded by performing well before being withdrawn midway through the second half. 'That's part of being a footballer,' said Edwards, when asked if he was surprised by their impact given the fact they were playing in India on Saturday. 'At the top level you have to get used to playing games every few days. 'They flew out and joined up with us on Monday and I always felt the proof was going to be in the pudding in terms of how they were physically, and they both played very well. What a week it’s been for them!’ Our win against Roma, coupled with Atletico Madrid Under-19s' shock defeat to Qarabag, means we now hold a three-point advantage over the Italians and Spaniards with two matches left to play. Next up for Edwards's side is a trip to Qarabag later this month, before we bring the curtain down on the group stage with a home game against Atletico. 'It was very important to beat Roma because with three really strong teams in the group, we said at the start that it would probably come down to who took points off each other in those games,' he said. 'Obviously with Roma winning at Cobham we had to eradicate that out there and we did that. When we went back into the changing room we heard Qarabag had beaten Atletico 1-0, which was a bit of a surprise, and now Atletico will need to come to Cobham and try to get a result.'
