The Blues, who hosted the showpiece game at their Cobham training ground, were far superior in the first half-an-hour, showing exactly why they continue to maintain a stranglehold over youth football at home and abroad.
After our goalkeeper Jonathan De Bie saved Conor Gallagher's early penalty, Charlie Brown fired Chelsea into an 18th-minute lead as they forced us into making mistakes and were powerful and organised in their own endeavours.
After a spell where we played our way back into the game, Brown snatched a crucial second goal on the stroke of half-time to put his side firmly in control.
