TheChels.net – Chelsea FC Youth & Reserves
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur met for the sixth time across three age groups in little more than a month on Monday but despite the previous meetings being filled with goals aplenty, two hard-working and well-drilled outfits were unable to break the deadlock in what amounted to a 0-0 draw at Staines Town’s Wheatsheaf Park.

Chelsea’s hopes of winning the Barclays Under-18 Premier League title this season took a hefty blow on Saturday morning as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at home to Middlesbrough. A brace either side of half time from Junior Mondal with an Alex Pattison effort sandwiched in between kept Boro on course to compete for honours themselves whilst Tammy Abraham’s 33rd goal of the season proved little more than a…
It took less than ninety seconds for Harry Kane to make his England debut more memorable than he could possibly have imagined. 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…
A fine recent run of Chelsea loanee goalscoring was extended into an eleventh consecutive week over the past seven days as Patrick Bamford, Lewis Baker and Gael Kakuta each added to an ever-growing tally for the season overall. Headliners Bamford got things underway in midweek by coming back to haunt former club Derby County for the second time this term, having also netted against them at the Riverside Stadium in…
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…
A fourth consecutive FA Youth Cup Final beckons for Chelsea’s Under-18s after they produced a rollicking display of attacking football saw them overturn a 2-0 first leg deficit and send Tottenham Hotspur packing to the tune of a 5-2 victory on the night and 5-4 on aggregate. As usual, they did things the hard way; as if reversing a two-goal lead wasn’t hard enough they fell a goal further behind…
We’ve had another week of loan action headlined by goalscoring antics and it’s come courtesy of Chelsea’s two most prolific contributors so far this season. Headliners Patrick Bamford‘s star has been on the ascent for a good two years now and the young forward turned in another terrific performance this weekend as he scored a brace in Middlesbrough’s 4-1 win over Ipswich Town. It was the first time he had…
Chelsea’s Under-18s continued a season of remarkable results as they triumphed 6-4 in the latest of their clashes with Tottenham Hotspur in Enfield on Saturday morning. Meeting for the third time in a fortnight with a fourth lined up this Wednesday in the FA Youth Cup, the Blues went behind early to a Shayon Harrison goal but were quickly on terms through Ruben Sammut’s first of the season. Iké Ugbo’s…
Chelsea secured their place in the Semi Finals of the UEFA Youth League on Wednesday afternoon as they overcame Atlético Madrid 2-0 in a scrappy and tense affair at their Cobham training base. In a game of few chances, an own goal from Atlético defender Fran Manzanara gave the Blues a slender advantage they held onto until the latter stages, when Dominic Solanke popped up with his 29th goal of…
It’s been a record-breaking seven days on the Chelsea loanwatch front with no fewer than seven goals for us to bring you. With so much to cover, let’s get stuck in. Headliners As he’s done for most of the past month, Mohamed Salah leads the way as he continued his stupendous form for Fiorentina. Prior to this weekend – he should feature away to Lazio tomorrow night in a match…
