Chelsea’s positive start to the new Premier League 2 campaign continued in impressive fashion on Friday night as the young Blues beat an older Tottenham Hotspur team 3-1 under the Stamford Bridge lights. A controlled first-half display provided the platform for what was to follow in the second as Jay Dasilva, Isaac Christie-Davies and Fikayo Tomori all found the back of the net to make it two wins from two…
Away from the manic madness of transfer deadline day at first-team level, the academy was just as busy throughout Wednesday in sending an unprecedented nine players out on temporary moves; the inflated tally almost something of an inevitability due to the scrapping of England’s emergency loan window for Football League clubs. Here’s how a breathless day unfolded for the Blues’ loan army. Following the road well-travelled For some of those…
We’re not even into September yet but we’re up to 13 goals from Chelsea’s loanees this week after Tammy Abraham and Jeremie Boga found the back of the net this week. We lead with them whilst checking in on the newest loanee ahead of this Wednesday’s transfer deadline. Headliners Abraham popped up first on Tuesday night with an extra time winner for Bristol City in their League Cup tie at…
Chelsea’s Development Squad continued their largely impressive start to the new Premier League 2 campaign with a 1-1 draw away to defending champions Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday afternoon. The Blues were the better team for long spells and were handed a first-half lead when Kyle Scott pounced on a mistake by goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, but they weren’t able to add to the scoreline in a second…
Chelsea’s Under-18s bounced back from defeat to Southampton last time out to record a resounding 5-0 victory over Swansea City at Cobham on Friday afternoon. The Blues were made to work for their reward on a swelteringly hot August day as they faced a determined Swans rearguard but, after Martell Taylor-Crossdale finally broke through with an early second half penalty, they were well on their way. Further strikes from Harvey…
Chelsea’s strong start to the new Premier League 2 season continued as they marked their first home game of the campaign with a stylish 4-1 victory over Liverpool at Aldershot’s EBB Stadium on Monday night. The hosts controlled proceedings from first to last, and were more than good value for the three points, but they were made to wait before being able to secure a result. Josimar Quintero opened the…
The early-season goalscoring form on the Chelsea loan front continued in earnest this week with Alex Kiwomya weighing in with a brace and Lewis Baker notching his first of the campaign in another productive seven days. Headliners Kiwomya deserves to steal the headlines though as he continues to make good on his third spell away from Cobham. Nondescript stays at Barnsley and Fleetwood brought about several question marks concerning the…
Chelsea’s first Under-18 away game of the new season also saw them suffer their first defeat as they went down 3-2 to Southampton in a topsy-turvy encounter at Staplewood. Despite falling behind to Siph Mdlalose’s opener during a far from stellar start, Jody Morris’ youngsters rebounded well, and eventually established a lead courtesy of goals from midfielders Tariq Uwakwe and George McEachran. Unfortunately, a late Tyreke Johnson double ensured they…
It’s Tammy Abraham’s world, we’re all just living in it. The teenage forward continued to grab the headlines this week with three more goals to announce his arrival in the professional game loud and clear. Elsewhere, the Loan Army has expanded into the 20s over the past seven days, so let’s dive right in. Headliners We begin with Tammy though. After coming off the bench to match-winning effect for Bristol…
Chelsea kicked off the new Under-18 Premier League season on Saturday morning with a 3-2 win over West London neighbours Fulham in a pulsating affair at Cobham. Harvey St Clair and Martell Taylor-Crossdale had given the Blues a commanding first half lead only for Jayden Harris to reduce the visitors’ arrears before the break with a lovely flighted effort. St Clair looked to have put the result beyond doubt twenty…
