U-18s: Chelsea 3-1 Arsenal - Report

Our under-18s tasted defeat for the first time this season on Saturday, as they were beaten 3-1 by Chelsea at Cobham Training Ground.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Flo Balogun had a golden chance to open the scoring when Valentino Livramento’s back pass set the young forward through on goal, but his low effort was saved well Karlo Ziger.

Trae Coyle then came close with a goal-bound half-volley that was tipped over the crossbar, but the Blues countered from the resulting corner and opened the scoring through Thierno Ballo, who converted from close-range following a fine save from Arthur Okonkwo.
