STAMFORD BRIDGE, London — Chelsea’s youth team made history on Wednesday when they became the only side since the Manchester United team of the 1950s to win three FA Youth Cups on the bounce.
That’s five in seven seasons for the Blues, reinforcing just how dominant the club has become in youth football.
Facing Manchester City—the Blues’ same opponents at this stage last year—this was a different sort of Chelsea display to those we've seen in the past.
In 2015, it was about the likes of Izzy Brown, Charly Musonda and Dominic Solanke getting the crowd off their feet.
