Two goals in six first-half minutes from Reece James and Ike Ugbo put the Blues in firm control of the semi-final, first leg at White Hart Lane, with a string of excellent stops from goalkeeper Austin preventing the visitors from moving out of sight after the break.
Left-back Tsaroulla praised the 18-year-old custodian, who has enjoyed a real battle with another talented stopper in Alfie Whiteman for the gloves in recent weeks, and admitted his performance spurred the defence on as we continued plugging away before snatching a late lifeline through Kazaiah Sterling, meaning we’re 2-1 down heading into Saturday’s second leg at Stamford Bridge.
