Chelsea’s Development Squad suffered Saturday afternoon frustration as they were beaten 3-1 by league leaders Liverpool in an entertaining fixture Cobham. Taking to the academy match pitch just two hours after Jody Morris’ Under-18s had dismantled West Ham, Joe Edwards’ boys faced a much sterner test of their credentials against the Premier League 2’s finest, but they gave a good account of themselves and would have beaten lesser teams with…

Chelsea’s Under-18s recorded a comprehensive 7-0 win against a very youthful West Ham United side at Cobham on Saturday morning. The Hammers, who featured three schoolboys in their defence, and introduced three more as substitutes, were no match for a Chelsea team that blew them away from the off.

Chelsea’s Development Squad recorded their first win since August in defeating Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 at their training ground in Enfield on Saturday.

Chelsea’s Development Squad are still searching for their first win since August, after a 2-2 stalemate against Arsenal on Saturday saw them record three draws in the space of six days, but they will have gone away from Aldershot’s EBB Stadium with plenty of reason to be positive about their fortunes moving forwards. Joe Edwards’ Blues twice led through Martell Taylor-Crossdale and Dujon Sterling, only to be pegged back on…
