Chelsea are Under-19 Champions of Europe. The Blues became the first English team to win the UEFA Youth League after beating Shakhtar Donetsk 3-2 in Nyon, Switzerland, on Monday afternoon, with a brace from captain Izzy Brown leading the way and yet another Dominic Solanke effort sandwiched in between, rendering a late first-half own goal by Andreas Christensen and a late Viktor Kovalenki goal as little more than afterthoughts on…

On Monday afternoon Chelsea’s Under-19s will take to the field in the Stade Colovray, a picturesque venue on the banks of Lake Geneva in Switzerland (close to UEFA’s Nyon Headquarters) bidding to become Champions of Europe. Adi Viveash’s young charges square off against Shakhtar Donetsk looking to be crowned UEFA Youth League winners 2014-15 and write a new chapter in what has been a staggeringly successful decade on the pitch…

Tottenham fans have been quick to tell the world ‘he’s one of their own’, and if the young forward keeps things up, the fans at Wembley will almost certainly end up following suit before much longer. Patrick Bamford’s Nottingham Forest days mean he’s unlikely to ever hear that…

Three days removed from another fabled FA Youth Cup comeback, Chelsea’s Under-18s found themselves being brought back to earth somewhat as they went down 2-0 at home to Everton in league action. The Blues racked up a host of first half chances without being able to make the breakthrough, and were punished for their profligacy close to half time when James Graham scored with a lovely glancing header. Everton went…
