After a dominant first-half performance, we went in 3-1 up at the interval thanks to Reo Griffiths’ penalty, TJ Eyoma’s header and an own goal from Chelsea’s Marc Guehi.
But the Under-18 Premier League leaders, who have only lost one game all season, came at us after the break and we were really up against it at times, being let off the hook by some wayward finishing on a couple of occasions.
In the end, they needed two penalties and a close-range finish following a great save by Jonathan De Bie – all from skipper Conor Gallagher – to avoid defeat and get it back to 4-4 with two minutes of normal time remaining.
