Chelsea U21s v West Ham U21s | PL2 | LIVE MATCH

books of his first outing in goal for Chelsea for several months, but a really good performance and again in a difficult period because, as you've already mentioned, they beat Chelsea three times now in the first leg at the start of the season. of when this unbeaten streak has disappeared since then, so it's impressive that the character eats and even here gets to three or two, suddenly you think okay, maybe you're nervous, but not a single blow from Chelsea, no, it's a great moment. In the game, I guess my mother sealed by putting the limit on the 3-2 victory, many teams fold, we know that, especially in a derby, so they say there is a very good mentality to get the maximum points, absolutely , the pitch has been under scrutiny for the last six or seven days but it is in perfect condition for tonight's game and we come into this and we are looking at a certain number of players, obviously Chelsea have retained a number of brilliant players that this summer and especially tonight when you think maybe you're not sure if one or two are going to come out on loan or do something a little bit different, but you look at the strength of the squad that Chelsea can select from a number of players who miss the night, but Even at the beginning at 11, Sam, you're looking at Cesare Castle, they in Rankin, he's been an attractive president for this season.

However, Charlie Webster also had some pop and Amari Hutchinson, who are both top scorers, and obviously Josh Brooken, who takes the armband tonight, the head of Alfie Gilchrist, who is not in the team, and obviously the ranking of Dion, excuse me, obviously bashia Humphries, who went out on his own, so there's going to be a lot of opportunities tonight, yeah, and it's been a brilliant turnaround, hasn't it? I mean the confidence was a little low. I would say coming into this season players who have played regularly in the second division, so it has been restored to no end, doesn't help half as much when you have the caliber of players they can choose from.

This season, let's look at the two best examples of Casa Day Hutchinson coming into the club raising the bar, but it's been a brilliant run, it's been a brilliant turnaround after the latter part of the summer, early autumn, when they lost a few games and lost some. "Heavy games and you were wondering if it was going to be another season where they wouldn't be in the upper echelons of the league table, so a brilliant recovery playing with real confidence at the moment, hopefully there will be no complacency tonight. I know they won." It won't be from the staff but I expect the players to start quickly, get an early goal and hopefully do the business, but that said, it's a resurgent West Ham team, but yeah, sitting low and low on the table, absolutely here is the tint that Mark Robinson has. selected has seen lucasburg of Derek Josh Brooking captains apart from Zack sturge Dylan Williams Charlie Webster Dion ranking cesare cast today Mason broke out although Mari Hutchinson and Malik mother still Harvey Vale due to Bell Jaden Wareham Juan Castillo and Teddy curd among Chelsea's substitutes this night and In terms of our 11 visitors, for tonight, one or two names to look out for: Divin Mubama, who has been Fort West Ham's top scorer in pl2 so far this season, and Freddie Potts, as well as Sam, who is Steve's son.

Potts is assistant manager at the moment and also has a brother who plays for Luton, plus a very footballing family and a player to keep an eye on, yes absolutely. The legend is that his father, Dan Potts, went on and had a very good career. some, isn't it in West Ham where you know that there is also, uh moncur, George Monker, who arrived late in the East? Now I understand John Wonka's son, so it's been quite productive going to some of the sons of some famous fathers and there's a well-trodden path certainly for a man who plays in the center of the midfielder a very tidy midfielder a midfielder in the basis of what could be a three or potentially a three four three as we will see tonight because If you are looking at someone like the one we have at Chelsea, there are a number of players that you look at in the parts to follow.

If you are a West Ham player who plays in midfield and comes through the academy, there is a certain Mark Noble you have a shadow that you have to get out of at some point, yes, I mean, they have the perfect role models, do you? It is not like this? It is certainly a Noble brand for the last 15 years or so that can elevate you. I know incredible, incredible players, who have to watch not only the way they behave on the field, the ability they have in the midfield position, but also the way they behave off the field.

Real leaders, they have been great ambassadors for the club and always seem to produce. Good midfield players so we will see our young Potts progress this afternoon in a difficult era against Chelsea's two cassadays and Webster really good against Fulham last time, absolutely correct so West Ham get us going this tonight, I hope you play with them. the three four three formation as opposed to Chelsea's slightly more dynamic formation in terms of three four one two plus in the three four three potentially, but look we've seen the hybrid systems in recent weeks and Chelsea play with the four from behind and everything.

Kind but lovely exchange to start and there's almost a trademark Charlie Webster clip to release Amari Hutchinson's burst, so if you can square it and it's an early corner for Chelsea, good positive start from the blues, Chelsea, there's that pass, Mother Sue, I thought. wine Short stood up turned around West Ham side for Hutchison playing in the hole just didn't get enough grip on that cut he intended to cut for Mason Bears is in a very good position Webster's corner is going to be a Swinging finish From The Far Side finally half resolved by West Ham returns to Webster defended well his classification was never present in the po2 this season Dion Boo's classification seems to float one in is a Lupine header from Mason's explosion I had an early goal shot, although Sam, that's a good effort, that's all he could do, really helped him towards the far post, a lot of power to the head, pretty comfortable at the end for the West Ham goalkeeper, but a really encouraging start, it'll be a lineup Incredibly offensive.

It looks like just two full-backs playing as outside centre-halves like in Abu and Zack's third, so there's obviously a bit of a problem in that department - you're looking for a bench of substitutes, apart from incredibly attacking three outside forwards, there's not really a Natural defender, so probably the injuries and also last night's game at the Youth Club have probably meant that Mark Robinson has slightly lower numbers in that department, but I hope it's a sleeper. Chelsea can win the game and win the game comprehensively, absolutely correctly, and Chelsea and the under 18s. We'll also have Premier League action tomorrow morning, we'll have it for you in the fifth stand from the 11 o'clock kick-off and a number of those players played in the Youth Cup last night, as you mentioned there, so I'll probably be in action again tomorrow morning, so it's not a situation we're not used to resolving here at Chelsea, maybe one or two players will have to take up positions outside their usual remit, but it's certainly a very useful standard I imagine in terms development, yes and The younger age groups would also probably have been allocated to under 16s for this weekend due to the backlog of games, so it will be a surprise to see many of the team even in the defeat last night being will be implemented throughout tomorrow's game, so it's probably an opportunity for some of the younger guys to get into the mix and potentially play a little more regularly for the under 18s this season.

There are some Cowboys playing here, so he already mentioned a little more central role than us. We're used to seeing him fly down this right flank, but in the past, Sam might have been a centre-forward who would have been playing at centre-half, maybe that shows the slight difference in terms of the way the team is set up, but we're not seeing a burst from Mason, although he had to do some work at centre-half and deal with longer balls forward. Yes, no, the outside central defensive role has evolved like many positions over the last five years. Wait and see if maybe we see. those two that step in, you're right, although just as they're dropping to defend, Dylan Williams is coming in to become a left back and he's sorting along with the rest of the back four now to form a five, but we've seen it work, It's a big success, isn't it?

In the first team, the shape changes depending on where the opponent has the ball, depending on who has possession or not, so you are looking to break the line for West Ham. send a Bama to this left side Brooklyn keeps it well, although hello, Chelsea can handle it on this occasion and therefore have possession assured. Williams to Hutchinson can't ignore being a foursome, but is unfairly challenged according to exactly the referee. The title ball that he's going to thrive with today really wrapped around him from Williams. The lovely first involvement of the left back makes it much easier for the player receiving the ball to turn when the pace is there, it's wonderful. collects trying to continue sliding the ball towards Hutchinson keeps it in play only in one direction moves the other difficult to the player Mario Hudson on that favored left foot looks at Loop one towards the far post in the end everything takes the surprise of the goalkeeper he simply did not give another touch in the space of the field, he had opened up to potentially shoot the other way, it is a cross and a little too high in his positive start, although Chelsea got five minutes, one would expect them to overcome it.

The promotion that their leadership position and form gives them, as we have already mentioned, is a very different scenario to where the team was 12 months ago and they were looking over their shoulders for a very different reason and suddenly the change of 12 months is. Not like you mentioned, Chez Ray Cassidy and Amari Hutchinson didn't make the team. Zach Sturge has also been a brilliant addition over the summer and now, with his eyes on the prize and the title challenge between them and Manchester City, he is a little more compelling. a little more common but West Ham could even have an early opportunity it's a goal from Obama Clara already scored five goals in pl2 this season she already got minutes for the first team and during the holidays she came on as a substitute they don't ask for it after boxing day four West Ham, so he has a very bright future, they think a lot about him and he just rushed the mistakes from there to their place, removed them, whipped them, but he wins Chelsea's shot with a bit more elaborate trying to play Louisa with The pressure increased and then Obama hit, but the striker feels comfortable for Bergstrom.

It's nice to see two strikers up there in tandem and it gives Chelsea the option to do what we just saw there to play a bit more instead of uh attracting West Ham to put pressure on the seniors to explode , so towards the front post, a beautiful step there from Hutchinson, but find your way to Mother Silk, it's red, you see strike. Associations these days, Sam, most of the time, you know you've been. They were asked to go it alone up front, but you see the partnership between Mother Sill and Burst certainly developing in recent weeks, yes, and we know Chelsea will try to play in the thirds, that's clear, but it gives them a nice little option, there are different ways to skin a cat and different ways to win football games and Mike Robertson clearly has two really talented forward players so why not expose them from the start?

I think negligence probably negates skills. Mother still wants to play them wide open. I've seen him play as a number 10, which he has done to good effect, but seeing him and breaking out in tandem is a pretty scary sight to atone for and I hope they can continue in the same vein they showed at Fulham might even bring out the best. of Charlie Webster and Cesare Cassadee players in the middle of the park, who have such an elaborate variety of passing skills to be able to select players and find different ones. options and maybe gives them the opportunity to go a little more direct at times and you have someone with Mesa's ability to exploit open play in the air as well when you have players like Mother Seal and Hutchinson who want to be behind. but also when you have players like Dion Rankin, who has been so good this season, you are giving him two options in the center of the box instead of one to target you, you would say you are getting the best out of yourself. the players around them may not see the best in this system, if that makes sense, yes, if the ball goes wide, you know, every time I played with other physical forwards, you know if you are covering the areas and if one of you don't attack the ball,then invariably the other will do it and for the two midfield players, Hutchinson will be the option on the feet and then of course you'll have William's runners in Beyond burst physical goals and the mother stamp.

Yes, two points, absolutely correct, friend, I apologize for this. It's like a technical problem. We're having King's Meadow right now. I'll just bring you the pics of Chelsea versus West Ham in pl2 as soon as possible. I'll just fix them right now. but as it remains goalless as we approach the ninth minute of action here on PLT, the first of the night, of course there are other games. Going through the lead position Manchester City don't play until tomorrow night if you're in a run for the salmon title you know this is very important for a lot of the players that are involved you know getting a pl2 trophy is a fantastic achievement at any period of your career but also in terms of if you play first and you're on the bar , would you rather be the team that does that instead of the one that chases you or does it?

It doesn't really matter so far in the season, not that early I would suggest, but it will be interesting, you know, we get to February and the windows close and the players shouldn't say they're not fully focused, but they know what the season is. It seems that for them individually they are now going to be at Chelsea. They are going to be in the pl2 team invariably, maybe they will go to train with the first team on occasion. Yes, I think that excitement will increase. You know, the opportunity to get. their hands on this trophy again, obviously it didn't happen last season and it was a difficult season by their standards, but yeah, they'll be really excited.

I think given the opportunity to win something you can see how much it means to the young players over the last decade they have won big trophies consistently and then you have to try to emulate what has happened before, players like Mason Mountain Rhys James Tammy Abraham , those who have just collected trophies in youth cups and I think there is that internal pressure for all the youth teams under 18 and also for the under 21s, so it would be great to see some trophies this year and some unlikely trophies after the last few 12 months, but they ran a brilliant run, some really big games coming up, um.

I know Liverpool and Arsenal and the like may not have been as consistent, but they are still important games and every time they play Chelsea, especially with a chance for Chelsea to win it all this year, they will be absolutely motivated. You mentioned Chelsea's next five games, Blackman Rovers away, Liverpool away, then Arsenal and Manchester United, before Everton at home round out the games for the next month and a half, and the games will get thick and fast. now and, as you mentioned, the players are that window is slamming shut and for some players, like Harvey Vale, who cannot go back on loan to another team in the English football league system for the next six months or so, It's an opportunity to focus on this. your chance to impress and, above all, you know we've seen injuries in the first team and if there's one or two players who get injured during the rest of the season, whether you're a Harvey Vale or someone else, it's very important to do that.

That makes your presence felt on the training ground every day, yes, every time you go out to these games, I'm sure there will be someone from the first team there, crowds of people from the first team, probably in this game tonight , so important. every time you put on a Chelsea shirt they produce like that and what they've seen in recent weeks is more and more opportunities being given to younger players, this probably happened before maybe Lewis. Hall, um, felt like they've done very well so far this season. Harvey Vale got a taste of it last season, so yes, they will be motivated to go to the first team club and potentially get some minutes.

This season I can only apologize for the lack of images you are seeing right now. We are having one or two technical difficulties. For this one in the BO2 Chelsea against West Ham as it stands, West Ham have unfortunately taken the league. Regan Clayton. getting booked a minute before George Earthy broke the deadlock, so West Ham or a nil for the good now Chelsea fans, that might make you a little nervous, but it's important to say that this West Ham team were honing in on 12 minutes. seven days ago against Manchester Manchester United and we ended up on the losing side that afternoon, it seems that fortunately we have been able to resolve our problems and now we have photos for you, yes, unfortunately, West Ham United are one nil at King's Meadow inside. 12 and it's George Earthy breaking the deadlock, but other than that, Lucas Bergstrom Angola back three or two for Chelsea for Derek Abu Josh Brooken as captain Zach Serge Dylan Williams Charlie Webster Cesare Castle and Dion Rankin as midfield four and us.

They will reach the top three after Mason broke out, they were qualifying trying to provoke one towards the far post and then Mason's Chelsea first three broke out, Malik's mother still and Murray Hutchinson playing in a kind of 10-a roll little behind them. for West Ham United it's Peggy uh junior Robinson louisao Keenan showing up strongly and Kailyn Casey Levi Liang George earthly goalscorer Freddie Potts mabama Kamari Sawyer and Regan Clayton so yeah just to recap proceedings here at King's Meadow tonight West Ham United zero for good George Earthy with the first goal of the afternoon for a reaction from Chelsea then salmon Dylan Williams Third exchange of passes from Zach here goes boats towards uh look at the scorer Clayton forced to go back due to classification there are boats again I have to apologize for the amount A lot of times in my brain my brain goes a lot towards the Noble Declan Rice mark on him every time he gets the ball, but Cassidy brought down junior Robinson there, it would be a free kick, it's important now, I guess Sam for the reaction for the next 10 or 15 minutes, as we mentioned, West Ham have been in this situation and have been losing a tl2 game in the last week.

Chelsea will take solace in that, but she needs to focus on the task at hand, which is getting back on track. The ball to start here hasn't happened too often, has it been for Chelsea over the last few weeks and months? It is very important to react and West Ham has been a team that has been winning games because I am used to winning games. The last four years were spread out over the last few months, but they still couldn't win a game for love and no money earlier in the season, so they are much more confident going into two gold deficits, so yeah, it's very important that Chelsea respond.

Quite a bright start to the game it looked like Hutchinson and the two forward players were going to have some fun again tonight but I'm going to have to come from behind it's well ranked so Captain Josh Brooklyn West Ham started it came from that's High Press . stopping Chelsea from playing comfortably and it's a very well done finish by George Earthy Robinson getting it going again read a wonderful part of it on Sam Week on Mark Robinson just his pure joy at being involved in the Chelsea set up and how much what it means to him as a manager and first and foremost a Chelsea fan and he is certainly a Chelsea fan, if you know you have a Chelsea fan in a position of power who is making decisions about the development of Chelsea Football Club, it is a good place to be, yes, he knows the level, doesn't he?

I mean, he does wonders at FC Wimbledon. Several of those players came to the first place he had within his Academy. Of course, we are talking about a different level, different caliber. as a player, but brother, those players who made their debut in the AFC women and in the first team were sold for good money. I think a player went to Katara's team today. I think Assault, who made his first team with Mark Robinson, went to Huddersfield. last year for seven hundred and eight hundred thousand pounds, so he certainly improves the players, he knows the local area incredibly well and this season he also proved to be a very good tactician, so yes, it has worked very well up to this point and, yes, angry Chelsea certainly helps too.

That's if you're a young player coming to the academy and you see Chelsea very lucky in recent years because of a romantic element of having Derekaboo, who got into a bit of trouble there, but Bergstrom is able to pick up the ball and pick up Kamari. Sawyer tried something a little elaborate, but luckily the Chelsea goalkeeper manages to get gloves on the ball here. If you are a Chelsea player who has been at the club for a number of years, one young player you see sets them apart. for the world and Rhys James and the players who are in the first team are making an impression week in and week out, you have a coach who fuels your energy in a weekday training camp Williams, we almost got in trouble with Charlie Webster, but we go. put on loan the first half of the season, two clips of Peter Brock all over the top looking for Robinson, that's also very good to keep him looping and crossing towards Sawyer's attack as well, but it's a good block from Derek Abu and now Mari Hutchinson.

It can make Chelsea cook inside out. Beautiful feet by Hutchinson Malik. Casey's mother is still there. Oh, you go too easily there again. It's a good block at the end from Derek. Abu has just entered the field looking to deflect the strike. At one point, the declassification simply reached the field as in the previous incident, there was a bit of a push back in the pull, sorry for Malik, the mother of the seal, the ultimate free throw bench, urging the players to also be a a little more encouraged and to start the process again, but time passes. there, on their side, only 18.

Looking at the 19 minutes played here at King's Meadow, I stay still for a zero in favor with Georgia, these are within 12 minutes, that's very good, Sawyer Good Feet cassadayan, so between them they can deal with it for Chelsea and directly. Charlie Webster looks to make some explosion as he runs down the other end causing a cross also into the mother silk. The game really was excellent and that's the option Charlie Webster has tonight when he can become brilliant and unselfish running from Mason. It doesn't get any better than that, it's absolutely perfect, the mother seal has to do better than that.

He gets there. He is in the first post. He receives a firm enough header on the ball. She couldn't direct it towards the target, but in terms of focus. The perfect center halves are going to run back towards their own goal, they are going to be in a game tonight, no doubt, a very good attacking game from Bear Stoke, Obama, a beautiful wide pass towards Sawyer for Clayton on the overlap if you can find it, but ratings. closing that option Frankie does very well again from Hutchinson keeping that ball on top could be a chance here if Mum can still get it under her spell which in the end may be displaced by three or four lengths from West Ham and we have What we have now is a clear pass to the midfield players, all three defenders will know it's from West Ham United, but it gives you the opportunity to start throwing it to Hutchinson now that the game is stretching, he suddenly becomes the Chelsea outlet.

If the next couple of balls slide towards his feet rather than that more direct ball out the flanks, West Ham Center hearts are comfortable with possession at the moment, although Louise isn't too impressed with Fisher's decision there , but urges Williams again immediately. Although I'm pressed, bye Robinson, you want the game to move quickly and they also make two balls in the field for the immediate deep center, but the classification works very well to be in front as Sawyer can clear it alone to the clay to know the classification. Having to do a lot more defensive work than Chelsea would like him to do can affect things at both ends of the pitch, of course, but he's at his best when he runs into space and doesn't see a huge amount of that first half. just the one chance to de

live

r had too much control of the ball, but a lot of defense at the moment defending Charlie Webster's cannon, that out for a corner off the bounces, Regan Clayton is going to trot in and take this one for West Ham. 23 minutes played here. at King's Meadow let's stay still one to zero until the good fruit George Earthy's strike in the 12th minute foreign Sawyer is so good that he simply attracted the challenge that he didn't feel when the ball was traveling there, he will be able to take it in his stride, but he cushioned it wonderfully.

I have to say that since the ball turned to the side at this stage you think who has a good position, but that touch just brought in the challenge, a good little chain of pace and I can also understand why everyone slipped to try and win the ball, but that and then the attacking play, Kamari Sawyer, another who has four tl2 goals this season, now joins the top scorer with launching into my annoyance afterwardsThat Pierre Quahoot, former Chelsea player until 2021, left West Ham in the week to join Sunderland, so in terms of goals he is certainly one of the players they look at is ironic because they are under 18, so I can't help but score at the moment 12th and 12th in the under 18 Premier League, however they are blowing this West Ham team in 12th place in tl2 opportunity to extend their lead to one nil here potentially Goldwoods It also bounced off two or three players.

I'm not sure what decision will be made here. The referee doesn't seem very sure about giving a corner. A tremendous effort coming out of the goal by force. and able to get around it with his left foot and hit the target, a difficult ball to hit there, especially on his weaker side, excellent to control it, the referee gave the goal kick, but the decision right at the end Clayton takes the corner. Over The Far Side this Header time up front Trace Boat I think he's gone all the way at West Ham, they extend their lead Keelan Casey swept him away with Goldwoods and I think it's dark at Bama on the line that finally touches him at West Ham Two to zero For good, here at King's Meadow you are in big trouble as soon as you lose. that first contact is just a bit of movement in front of the near post there are three Chelsea players there initially Casey makes excellent control of the ball in the middle volleys and returns it to the danger area Obama is there only to turn the line, but it is that first header that the world stores as World Chelsea at the near post.

I think there were three players there who were slow to react. The West Ham player simply makes a small movement towards the front of the six-yard box and wins that header. Chelsea slow to react also to the second ball, so three touches, three fundamental touches, all from a clear blue shirt, could be the best pleasure, it's like breaking the game here, it's nice and explodes there, we see a bit of treatment , well, George Earthy, who broke the deadlock just after 12 minutes before touch. With 27 minutes to go mabama West Ham lead the hit two nil Mark Robinson hopes it's not the same story as the last time he and Mark Robson sat in opposite dugouts It's not exactly a meeting with Sam, but when he was in the AFC lost three nil to Peterborough and Mark Robson as assistant manager.

I'm sure there will be a little conversation between the two. Let's take a look at the goal that has unfortunately put Chelsea two up. -Zero deficit as it currently stands, like you said, Sammy does very well, he also didn't send half of Keelan Casey to keep him down and that's what you want from a number nine in my bummer on the line, making sure that yes, I'm in . two vital touches Sawyer is that he wins the close header and then Casey shouldn't have that kind of space at the far post if you're assigned to Mark, a man can't switch off even if the initial ball hasn't.

He's gone to your marker, so Casey's a good six, two, six, three, right? It shouldn't be completely unopposed at the far post to return it to the danger area, but you know the set piece is well worked out, but offensively Chelsea won't be happy. with that elsewhere on the pitch two tonight Arsenal and Spurs are currently Everton Fulham also one all Manchester United one against Blackburn Rovers and Wolves and Liverpool still goalless it is two nil for West Ham here at King's Meadow Chelsea with work to do, but as we keep mentioning West Ham, we are too null against Manchester United last weekend, tonight they ended up escaping with the three points, so there's always something to take from that, I'm certainly sure a conversation will be had between Chelsea. players and management staff at this time, as Bergstrom advances through Forest, his net stops at the foot of the ranking, this is where you want him to find space to deal with the Webster ranking with Abu for support and uses it to record a low cross again treated by West.

Ham but only to Brooking Chelsea way ahead since conceding that second goal it's on the way to Mother Silk really good feet back to Webster great goal what a brilliant goal Chelsea reaction immediately after the goal Charlie Webster has half the deficit excellent really aggressive reaction the position we talked about in the center halves Abu was up there in the final third while that move was going on come back the other way this is a really good game again all the involvement from sturge excellent great awareness from Hutchinson and then I'm thinking about taking out your early shot, Malik's mother still, but be patient and take advantage of the past to his right and it's an excellent finish from Charlie Webster, it's a really well worked goal, a lot of players involved and everyone doing their job with good results.

Excellent response from Chelsea at 2-1, now West Ham leads with 15 minutes left before the break. Lobster immediately looked in, but gave us a foul against Kamari Sawyer. Very good patience also for Malik's mother, which is why she saw so many centers. the forwards who as soon as they work half a yard want to shoot but have the composure to leave it on a layup for Webster and then it could work if he made the most of it, yeah it looked like the second half he defended it pretty well. Confronting Malik's mother, he still prevents her from taking his strike, but yeah, very good conscience just to see Charlie Webster's position to the right of him and push him into his path.

I think even though there is a deficit, a deficit of two to zero in that explosion. He would seem in a good mood from the beginning, Malik's mother still maybe not so much, not so much, but you have such a powerful and physical Strike Force Chelsea that we are always going to cause problems and they did from the beginning, just a couple. of defensive lapses to let them down so far but there hasn't been much wrong with the performance of the center forwards here we go again turning there for mum still now Hutchinson I will be building this right side for Chelsea qualifying now in goal The scorer Webster and made up of the ball is Charlie Webster and the possession Abu the ball at the feet of burst a beautiful ball towards Hutchinson very good preparation by Chelsea Hutchinson is also a good shot Chelsea feels it now excellent again Abu intervenes and then I I love the sharpness of the forward players, combo plate, this is a really good game, again, look at that lovely pass to Hudson's feet, it tells him you're ready, you can take on your opponent because the pass really hits him. his touch was assured, yes, a great game needed the touch, I think G had only to deflect it, take the corner.

The Far Side Charlie Webster with the inner swinger, on, on, it's deep into Cassadai, even though he's not done yet. Williams tries to do a backward loop in the current standings looking for Dylan Williams. On the other side, let's jump to Charlie Webster, but they're coming together between him and Junior Robinson, we're a free kick where Sam's weight, yeah, I've been a great response. Chelsea definitely could have lowered their heads today if there was a lot of criticism, but they want to try to get him into the game. He's been very quiet for the first half hour or so without being able to get the ball. too much, perhaps it's because his team-mate Charlie Webster's first thought now has been to turn West Ham around and try to play the two forwards early, perhaps that has simply negated his individual ability, so he may start receiving the ball now that the game starts. opened up a bit, we said there was still plenty of time for Chelsea to do that and options from the bench if they needed them a little later, including Harvey Vale Jade and Wareham, both returning from Spells loans at Harlan Lake Norway respectively, Jude .

Soon supral and Juan Castillo, Ted curd the other substitute on the Chelsea bench tonight, find themselves running towards West Ham United, George Earthy and Diving mabama for the Hammers and Charlie Webster just before the half-hour mark to get Chelsea back. In this one, from the goal, a very different Chelsea look very promising and positive on the ball. Strom and Burst, although they join in, seem interested in that one, but for me it's too far in the whole day than the foreign proceedings here, as the referee only deals with one or two things that Spain said in his own way and making sure Bursto and Louisa were okay.

The fight between those two at the front made for some flurries. He has been going well so far in the first half and has led the line very well for Chelsea in recent weeks. Level one scorer. five with Amari Hutchinson, so 14 of the 15. Pl2 side so far, long ball forward looking for it there, although he plays from the back, that Chelsea high press and it's like Sturge can't control the ball, his lovely burst. Just around the corner, mother, you can still put your foot on the ball in your cassaday. Now, Hutchinson classification. I'll make it a little deeper if you need it.

Use your cassaday. Instead, I'll start getting a little more involved. Sam, isn't that him? question you asked a few moments ago we are seeing more Ray Castle chairs in the last five yes we haven't seen too many possession sequences like this in the final third it has invariably gone towards a forward player and they have been able to make something happen whether that ends in a de

live

ry or a shooting opportunity, so yeah, a little more measured just during this period. And like I said, like you said, being able to take my ball and stroke it a little bit, I mean, that's not a criticism.

I think the foreplay has been excellent in the really exciting first half. In fact, if we were neutral, probably the best thing that could happen in the game would be for Chelsea to fall behind tonight. They certainly responded in turn and it just feels like there were opportunities there because of the makeup of Chelsea's front line. You can see that West Ham are not rocking but they don't look tight, do they? There are definitely opportunities here. A direct ball to Hutchinson from Cassidy escapes a couple of tackles and now Dylan Williams, the Charlie Webster, so he was encouraging Abu to shoot there, but I thought better of it.

He's sorting, you'd terrify me as a full-back and sorting can go in any direction on both feet absolutely quickly, plus he's a lovely ball downfield. The post about looking for the mother has still been handled well, they are only up to Cassidy Chelsea football and Webster, as you said, it has been a pretty hectic and good first half for the neutrals, neither team was able to put together a passing sequence, but Chelsea slowly and started to get into their rhythm a little bit more now yes, there is some pressure building right towards the end of the first half West.

I'm camping out a little more, don't invite pressure with the cry of The technical area was a little early in the process to be in the adjudication area and, in the hope that they could have overcome it, they probably didn't need to show a little more of ambition considering that we are halfway there. The attacks were a bit sporadic for West Ham United. It was a very good response to be two goals down, let's see if they can tie before the break. There is no level in terms of shots on goal. Chelsea and West Ham United in this first half three a piece at the moment which I think tells the story, it's been a pretty close game so far and West Ham have been brilliantly clinical with the two chances they've had.

Robinson, looks encouraged by that right side with the will of Zach Sturge Hutchinson. Typically brilliant feet from Amari Hutchinson, just a loop to make a pop, though he wins. It's good again, the front three are connecting, there are not too many balls deflected on the left side. Hutchinson has been nice and sharp in these little pockets. of space and you can see the 1v1 developing on the right of the picture, although between the winger and the center half on the left side he just can't direct it towards goal, but he seems full of confidence and gives you that option too. he needs to mix it up a little bit because he can make the short play and we'll come back to that in a second because here's my bomber and now Clayton early, but bergstroms still, he gives you that option.

It's not because he can do it all, he's a blast, although if you want to go a little longer, a little more direct, Ariel is brilliant, but we've also seen the wonderful, tidy exchange when playing in his deep-dropping grab player. He is, he is a bag of all kinds, he can give you everything, yes, and a pl2 level. I imagine defenses are sometimes quite happy with the ball funneling out and deliveries going in, but when you have two forwards. attacking attack like Chelsea do tonight is a balance you will have to play with because you don't want too many balls arriving in five minutes until the half-time interval qualifying with grass to run on now he will get there sooner Clayton does very well that their center has been Carnival to meet with Chelsea and then comes Robinson, there the loudest voices, as always, just making sure his players are fully informed before this set piece.

Hutchinson with a delivery, it is deep towards the far post almost. he kindly bounces there to derekaboo in the distancemy grandmother ties it towards the London skyline has optical right One there if you are a budding photographer more active than for the sake of West Ham here is Brooking Hutchinson, the referee was in the way Castle's day the ball came out there, while I was looking at Charlie Webster, it's a tough job, so I'm going to referee, so you know, we'll leave it at that. He's fine, he's done well so far. It was a good, free-flowing game.

I must have a part time now. I haven't been able to get out for the last five minutes or so. He's ranking another one who has really grown in the game. You've seen him with the ball more and more. I feel like it's going to be a team talk at half-time going to I wouldn't say I'm dejected, but disappointed by some elements of Chelsea's performance, obviously the goals they've conceded, but I wonder if there's a little bit in the back of the mind from Mark Robinson that this will be a good test for the players if they can get through it, this will put them in a very good position for the rest of the season because it has been a bed of roses, hasn't it?

Over the past few weeks on the league schedule so far I've been asked a few questions tonight not really been communicative recently good good character test let's see if they can continue knocking on the door and outplaying opponents in the second period . It's really a good point, isn't it? I suppose they can all look brilliant when you've eaten up teams five and six, but when you two are one down against a team that's going to dig in and our London rival and I've got everything on them too, you can come back and get a positive outcome.against them, as you said from two down, you not only take note of what you are capable of, but you also send a message to those around you that you know there has been a test character that you have faced with you grow The games are going to be tough when you're sitting in the best restaurants in the league.

Every

match

becomes even more difficult because teams want to beat you, especially in the London Derby. The Derby intensity will be there. West Ham have just taken advantage of Chelsea having a bit of a lack of numbers defensively tonight, not to say it was a terrible performance, but one would have hoped they would have defended the situations a bit better, so it will be a night when perhaps the forward players would have a chance. be the heroes again if they can, a few more goals speaking of which, here's Murray Hutchinson, a beautiful turn and sneak but the shot unfortunately ends up in the back of the stand behind the goal, just digging in a little Wasn't that nice? of cutting it instead of running his laces through it, this is becoming a feature now cassador coming up to the ball hitting it, he was digging slightly under his feet, getting the Venom on the shot he would normally go for from that kind of distance From Now there is a chance here for Sawyer with the last one of the first half, but Zach Sturge does it very well.

You said Sam. I think both teams have one eye on the halftime whistle right now. Both coaches, I guess, we'll send a message as soon as. possible, but there could be an opportunity here for Chelsea to do something here. Hutchinson took offense well. In the end a release sells out. In the end Derekaboo does it very well. Yes, he did well because Sawyer had a little change of pace. He seems slow. the opponent fell and then exploded Beyond them coming to this left side so yeah excellent defense Erica boots Chelsea barely escaping the seconds before the half time whistle we return to Bergstrom, hopefully we change a play for Charlie Webster looking for Dylan Williams, but still with the World by Robinson attack.

Obama might be here, he's alone, no he only has Sawyer, but finally now he has a chance to reach the end of the water, that's clinical since you like to dive. My Bama have their second of the night and that's a fantastic finish from absolutely nothing, yes it's a big coup isn't it when you consider the way the first half has built up the intensity Chelsea have been playing with and is another individual error really in Brooking's initially middle line? so Webster does it very well. I felt like I should go back to that position, maybe I have to show him his right side, it's easier to say now, but there's only one place the finalist can go and it starts outside the Post Obama and Bergstrom, he's holding on to the There's really little air. because the direction of the blow kisses the inside of the post excellent excellent finish but could have been avoided much earlier in the movement, suddenly a tone really changes, doesn't it?

Because 90 seconds ago we were talking. about Chelsea coming into half-time probably the better of the two teams after conceding those two previous goals and then the sudden direction of travel changes massively because you're going from a deficit and it takes a big 45 minutes, yeah, the tone of the conversation probably changes a little now with the 2-1 they feel the message is going to be very optimistic they are back in the game they played well for 20 25 minutes knocking on the door as you can see the other sloppy goal just before At half time I think It will probably be overcome and the focus should be on being better defensively.

We gave three goals to West Ham. It's a real shame considering the level of performance has been quite good, especially the forward players impressed with the front three today. Dave looked at him, he seemed confident. As expected, it's rare to see this Chelsea team concede three goals in the PLT. They haven't done it since October 15 and that's when the game was almost over before Charlotte scored two very, very late goals for Manchester United. to draw three that night, but I just go back to try to find the last time Chelsea came out two goals down and he said it's rare that they can see three goals, so this is new ground for a lot of them, but what? can Amari Hutchinson? play his role in reducing that deficit before the half-time whistle, probably the last chance of the first half, is in the delivery Dylan Williams with Goldwoods move towards Cassadeo.

I think he probably would have been offside. Peggy and Gold were more than happy to hold on to him and suck on him. away the seconds before half time we're looking at was yes Casey who threw himself at him Williams did well to control the volley there's the half time whistle which King's Meadow never silenced definitely actually going to go tonight like unfortunately Chelsea three one less against West Ham United was George Earthy you are open to scoring four West Ham before giving him Obama doubled the Hammer's lead Charlie Webster brought Chelsea back almost level should immediately after that a fantastic reaction from Chelsea and they were pushing to getting the equalizer before the counter-attacking goal and brilliantly taken out of nowhere from hitting it as if the chance had gone before Ian lashed it from top right into the far corner Sam parking up, it's going to be a great next 15 minutes for Mark Robinson and his team, but as we were talking 10-15 minutes ago, it's a real test of the character of the Chelsea Squad, yes, a disappointing scoreline, a clearly disappointing defensive performance, but apart from that, there is a lot to like again, They have caused West Ham several problems.

Countless chances, half chances more than you know, golden chances, so it's still there for them, it's still there for them, we know how free they've been scoring recently, we know the firepower they have at the top end of the field so there will be a change but they are more than capable absolutely true we will look at the highlights of Chelsea's youth cup

match

against Cambridge United last night in a second but first a team hoping to get back to this field on Sunday. Chelsea women play against Conte. Carter midweek against Tottenham Hotspur here are the highlights from the foreign Chelsea League just a few minutes before half-time so the defender could have been Sam Kerr there but either way it's a Chelsea goal, great credit to Casper and stops the ball here beautifully. put under control by Lauren James here and Kirby there there is a respite Frank Kirby with another goal just a few minutes after coming off the bench got the mill Chelsea two and that is a beauty camera that is a beautiful ball for the car and that is game about a Few minutes left, no doubt about it now another semi-final is approaching look at this for an assist What's in Canada?

The reverse ball of the season in the middle for four is Kirby and there are still a couple on the court. Kirby surely isn't the world. In there she is in the net but the ball is not there and it remains at three, so calm and collected somehow the door jumped to the right. Take that from Drew Spence. Oh, that's a brilliant strike, it won't be worth much, but it's a goal against. an old Drew Spence club and it's a big knock too, but it was in the fourth minute of stoppage time. Wonderful blow to Tottenham, a tlc3 wallet took George Hoddle's line too quickly to recover it, so run this from ampong and Cut back for Tudor Mandelid as well.

Finch has been able to turn the post around in the best way we've seen from Chelsea so far, so you don't know he's a decent cross and the Under Pressure keeper missed it and then it went wide. Leo Castledine really good opportunity excellent work was by McNeely difficult for Murray Campbell to handle, he didn't get there and what a block by Brody Hughes to prevent Dan Barton from scoring one to nil, there's a good corner on the head. Even better and Cambridge United are ahead, it's captain Jaden who has the goal, no chance for Merrick, oh one a year, he's a decent crosser, plus Chelsea are unclear, oh and he's out of the post, it is mainly so close to his second. beautiful footwork, can he pick the pass looking for McNeely who is beating his man?

It's a good save from Finch, quick to deal with the approaching Chelsea, but still no tie. Castle dies looking for room for a shot here. Leo Castledine diverted and that went wide. in the end, Castle die McNeely's job is running out of time for Chelsea, here's Boniface, the substitute, and that's a really good ball. Castledine couldn't get there mentally, dohu too and they got away with it and now the investigation starts to end Chelsea. of time here, but that's all. Chelsea were left out, a big win for Cambridge, a big surprise in the mock cup. Cambridge United don't want Chelsea, yes, a big disappointment last night in the fa youth cup, but much of that team will be back in action tomorrow morning. against Tottenham Hotspur so make sure you join us for the fifth stand up from that 11 o'clock kick off so here we are 3-1 at half time here at King's Meadow to visitors West Ham United, they took the lead via George. earthy shortly after the 12th minute and since then it's been a bit of a frantic but fun game of football in that Sam Park in Charlie Webster who really had an impact on this game yeah I spoke to him I spoke about Charlie Webster the way he It was likely that Chelsea prepared the game before the game and this was a great example of it being a little bit more direct than maybe we've seen because the two forwards they had there almost turned into a goal that was a Good snapshot of the Empire quartet too, probably an example of what was going to be really difficult for Chelsea defending set pieces in that first period and, um, Obama in place there just to turn in case it was reduced, yes, as you mentioned, the corner was going to be. showed that the second goal of the night Chelsea Two down at that moment by hitting Obama is the first of the night he has six at the moment in pl two his seventh comes just before half-time but before that Chelsea immediately began to give kind of response and this was a brilliant period from Chelsea.

A lovely preparation. The game finally works this way for Charlie Webster's brilliant goal. I don't know if Hutchinson was referring to a small ball around the corner if he just missed. Towing it towards another, yes, it just shows you that when you have the three players very close, the setup is aggressive and it was worth it, for that brilliant golden goal, although the great individual quality of Charlie Webster and this was a great spell for the Chelsea, a flurry of opportunities that came after Webster. Paul ran back and it was unfortunate not to be at least level and with everything to do in the second half, given that they gave up another goal, but this should give Chelsea some optimism, there are some really good plays among the mistakes made in the first half.

Excellent and he could have scored a goal himself, absolutely, yes, almost, on a number of occasions, Chelsea got back on level terms and then, right around the time of our time, it looked like Charlie Webster had smashed it and done enough, but absolutely nothing. a really very good ending because it seemed that a danger had been avoided. It's a fantastic ending for Diva Bama, her second of the nightup to seven in pl2 sorry for six up to six in pl2 now um for West Ham United really good to finish and I'm sure if you had a more neutral perspective tonight, Samia won by admiring that forward play a little bit more.

Yes, I always want to give credit to the front players. It's a brilliant finish when he throws it with his left side, but he should. Brooklyn has dealt with it on the halfway line and then Charlie Webster does fantastically well by reading the situation by coming back in and then just showing it on his right side, showing it away from the goal, completely lacking support and, hopefully, Chelsea could have. to defend the later phase of the attack, so it really disappointed Bergstrom as well, maybe there wasn't much rhythm in the shot that said it does go into the post, so yes, a bitter pill to swallow just before the break, but with luck more. goals to come in the second half as we can see Chelsea and West Ham United substitutes warming up one or two names on the Chelsea bench if they were changed so I mean look at Harvey Vale Jayden Wareham Jude soon Bell Rank of Steel all the attacking options really Castillo is the most defensive of the four, but I think it will be a long time before we see any of the above, we will probably leave him for a while because the attacking play has been good, according to the system tonight, I would say. it's left them exposed but there's a bit of a lack of defenders, no you know, you've normally had a Humphreys in this team, obviously he was loaned out, now Gilchrist has been a mainstay and has more attacking players playing the outside back role , so possibly it may change the system, but like I said, they just need to sharpen the focus in that regard.

The forward players will naturally create chances, they will get tired at some point and we may see some of the substitutes I have always liked, Jayden Wareham. as an impact player, maybe he doesn't have the same effect from the start, he comes in and can pick up the speed of the game very quickly, effervescent type of front player who takes hits, so yes, he is a good option, a good attack. options there, but I don't think there's any reason to panic, it's more the individual, focusing concentration and, uh, just trying to eradicate those mistakes, absolutely just chatting about the rest of the weekend too, Sam, because there's a lot of football to do. played from now until the end of the season in all competitions, especially since the World Cup break has been imposed not only for the first team, but also cancellations in recent weeks due to images that cannot be reproduced and etc., obviously the under 18s in action tomorrow morning, which you can see live on the fifth stand with us from 11 o'clock, that would be the start time.

Hey, that's important, isn't it? Because we sit here and play with Chelsea Tottenham, no matter what level they are, pl2 Premier League FA. The Chelsea Spurs Under 18 Cup Final always means something where you will have been in that position playing against a Spurs team and how you prepare in exactly the same way because obviously Chelsea and the best there's not much separating them. At the moment in the under 18 Premier League, do you approach it exactly the same as any other game or do Chelsea and Spurs have a bit more? Yes, there's always Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal, those would be the biggest games I know of in terms of location.

There are closer Derby games for Chelsea, but those were the two. I think Tottenham dares. The Academy has grown, it has grown enormously, obviously, the facilities at Spurs Lodge are second to none now too. If that's what it's called, I'm sorry, the name escapes me, but yes. That's right, it's always a great game. I think it is channeled through the football club. I remember Mason Mount talking about Chelsea talking about games a few years ago at Academy level and um, always great and yeah, sitting third and fourth respectively in the big table game tomorrow and they will be motivated, there may be an opportunity for them some younger players will play given the number of games they've been very close to, but yes, they will be clear that this is a game you want to play. absolutely win and I haven't checked the weather report yet, but it's definitely going to be a lot softer than last Sunday at King's Meadowford when Chelsea and Liverpool tried to do it for over six minutes that we managed last Sunday, um, when they meet in the FA Cup this Sunday again, that's really important and I guess from Van's perspective, we probably would have learned a little more if we had seen the two teams seven days ago, but now you analyze it a lot and you still remember the opening day of the season of the WSL when everyone got the best at Chelsea, yes revenge will be on their minds, it would have been a week ago what he did to Emma Hayes. probably gives him a chance to get stronger, it's quite possible that he rotated a little bit for this game having not played that game last Sunday, it will probably be the big hit as he said they played Tottenham obviously so Yes, I'll have to wait and see but last season there wasn't much to play with after the Emirates lost and it looks like it's going to be a really competitive title race again this season so there's no room for error so they can put it out to a certain extent given that it's a cup game, but yeah, I hope this one goes ahead and everyone can breathe a little bit of relief because the uh the fa and things like that wouldn't have wanted this one to go down and they promised to. the weather too, so hopefully we'll have the game, we'll also have a good one, absolutely correct, man, I can tell you this as someone who's just thawed out from Sunday, it was cold, it was very, very, very cold at King's.

Meadow, but yeah, we're looking forward to seeing that one and one more that you can see with us live at the fifth stand up on Sunday, which is the one o'clock start, so yeah, make sure you're with us for that one should be . It's a very, very interesting game as Chelsea go in search of more titles and of course Chelsea will also be playing in the UEFA Women's Champions League and will be at Stamford Bridge next month. I think it's the end of March, actually, so keep an eye out for tickets to those games. Chelseafc .com for that, of course, the men's team will also be in action in the Champions League in a few weeks time, so perhaps one or two players will be keeping an eye on this one in terms of younger players who may enter the record. window now as younger players who are on the so-called b list and can step up and potentially with one or two players who needed to be registered as new signings from the beginning and we may see one or two get a chance later on like this which I am sure they will be keen to take every opportunity to impress and hopefully Amari Hutchinson will do so by giving us the kick-off in the second half as Chelsea Trail 3-1 against West Ham United there is no change in the difficult. time for either team so it's Heggy Robinson Luis Al comes out strong and Casey Liang earthy one of the scorers for West Ham tots mabama the other scorer who has two to his name so far Sawyer and Clayton for the Mark Robson's West Ham United and Chelsea continue with Bergstrom Abu Brooklyn sturge Williams and Rankin as full-backs or Wingers with Webster and Cassidy and their three forwards of bursto and mother sill and Hutchinson in that roll of 10 a little back kicking immediately towards the goal of West Ham, which will please many Chelsea fans who are returning to their seats having a nice snack on a cold afternoon here in Kingston here is Dylan Williams looking towards Mason bursts out as Louise owls the undisputed header for my label we all have in the silk mother pf4 Sun Very tidy news in possession for my resistance in the middle of the park tonight it is Robinson clear by Sturge what the message would have been at half time Sanford Mark Robinson mullet it is still a case that we were in the game until a few minutes before, just keep doing what you're doing, patience and a bit of marker to get your players to take the game by the throat individually, fast start, next goal I think, that kind of talk I think, and the patience thing .

Also, not to get too discouraged if you don't score a comeback in this second period, it might look more like a four-back start to the second half. Look at Derek Abu over there, you can see the two at the back there and Dylan Williams over here and Malik's mother's hill is only looking to push towards the left flank, so maybe only a tactical adjustment will allow them to qualify later little more before and as we said, the mother seal returns to the center forward position, so maybe it was just wait momentarily and see how it develops, but I have the option to do it at some point, fluidity within the team and even in recent weeks he is in Chelsea's four player in defense against Leicester in a two-nil win there. and they went back to a back three against the wolves and I mean, even that Leicester game it was almost a three against four defense at times, it was very, very fluid and I guess very, very similar to the Chelsea first team that at times we see in the great tracer.

It will be four defenders and by the middle of the 43 it could be around three and you are almost asking one player to do a bit of both when Hutchinson throws one in through the center of the box, but Chelsea can't get anyone into the box. end of this, there are earthy bounces here, a ball lifted to the left side, we are still enjoying a bit of possession, as we have certainly answered a number of questions tonight, taking advantage of your opportunities, three ones are up here. at King's Meadow tonight Sawyer was displaced by our blue and Webster did very well on stage he also did very well there when the goal kick for George the earthy John okay, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on , yes Josh, where is the Chelsea manager Mark Robinson has enjoyed a wonderful run of form please cum VO2.

I've been defeated since August. I remember a fairly difficult start to the pl2 season for Chelsea's defeats to Arsenal and Fulham early on, but since then it was very impressive, certainly since the turn of the century. year too since returning from the winter break as it was four wins in the last five PL, two games, three clean sheets and also in Cl2 Foreign tonight means they have a bit of work to do in the remaining 40. minutes Cassidy plays from the outburst as if he were sorting out another off-tour guy for support. Can't get him to stick, although it might be an opportunity now, although the burst has Williams open, he uses it.

Cassidy does well to drive to the net for a half yard stop. falling to Mother Silk, that's a good possibility Sam, yes, maybe he lost his bearings momentarily. Cassidy's play on the left side was really eye-catching. I don't think he maybe he knew the goalkeeper's position. He didn't get the angle of the shot from him. There is more cell and our Webster Hutchinson, let's prepare the game from Chelsea. Now the classification has space on the right side. This center is off. It came out for a Chelsea corner, but again, the build-up to that Mason exchange was really important to everything Chelsea did well tonight.

It took him five minutes, but now he's starting to flow because today with a couple of excellent balls to the feet of the forward players. that's really good around the corner from the bears to a good link play from the mother Sue unfortunately can't beat the first man but it's something really encouraging Hutchinson with the corner is deep into the explosion oh that's a save brilliant, it's a phenomenal save from Heggy Mason exploded, I did everything right there, it's a tremendous decision by the West End goalkeeper, well, it seems we don't have the technology, but this is an exceptional header, it doesn't get any better than that, it's A wonderful bit of football, isn't that such a good save?

He's getting enough ball with the ball, wouldn't he be able to push it away? He just had to try to get something to go over the crossbar. I just made a wonderful stop. He is a brilliant and brilliant goalkeeper who has been another gift for West Ham this season and pl2 is also highly regarded in the Hungarian national set-up. I'm sure it won't be long before I'm not just knocking on the door of the West. Ham's first song of some of the performances I've seen this season, but it's saved as such. Your highlight reel gets better, didn't it seem like it came a little late?

He didn't come into the intervention like he was crossing the line, but I don't want to take anything away from him, it's an incredible save, it's also a lovely turn from Sawyer. He's eventually cut off by Brooking's lids starting to open at both ends, although the cage does open in the second half, but maybe we're past that. and both teams begin to find small pockets of space. Good Feet exploded only to make things work quickly and only to release the mother silk one by onewith Casey, he only has Hutchinson for support. Casey does it very well, although the Casey Pierre quartet, please, is done. to be forced 55 minutes played here at King's Meadow last time United 3-1 against good Georgia three and then two from Obama after Charlie Webster reduced it to 2-1 swearing po2 tonight Arsenal and Spurs still won a piece in the north London Derby Everton and Fulham also draw 1, all of Manchester United wins two to zero against Blackburn Rovers, while the wolves in Liverpool remain goalless, as he is an interesting scorer for Tottenham Hotspur and also appeals to tonight Simon Lucas Mora chance here for Sawyer can't Keep it in Brooking, where is the Brazil international who has been very outspoken in recent weeks about looking to move away from Antonio Conte's side?

Well, yes, when you have a chance, when you score goals, you can. If your fair play, yes, showed him the right attitude, he could be completely right again if it improves the Spurs. I hope not, anyway, Chelsea 3-1 here tonight and Dylan Williams to get Chelsea back to a more positive phase of the game, but I can. I didn't find anyone with that, too bad Mason's exploding head didn't get over the line. It would have been absolutely perfect to mount the comeback. Here's Robinson and Bergstrom has done well. Charlie Webster. Chelsea don't do it every time they get the ball, it looks like something might happen oh they still can't keep possession, although Casey is in and out, he knows the runner.

I think my Bama would have almost been offside, apparently still just under an hour away. Sam, how long do we anticipate it will be before we see reinforcements from the touchline? Well, you can never say for sure, but yes, I believe you will persevere. I think the setup for the forward players looks good. It hasn't been the problem in the first half, they've got a lot of them, all three of them still look brilliant, it looks like they've been working on the system and, uh, the little moves, the link. Play among the tree. I thought it was excellent.

Make sure that when those opportunities come in, one is taken advantage of and hopefully I quickly take some points from this game, but you know, Mason Bears, although a few moments ago they did absolutely everything, but the goal was a wonderful header, well, here we go. here we go and it's Harvey Vale who will be introduced from the touchline, mother silk, the player who will be replaced. I mean, if you're looking for an impact player, a player who made the first team bow and spent the first half of the season on his own. The entire city in the championship did not play as much as it would have liked.

He was injured on international duty. I seem to remember he was another 19 around October and yeah, he didn't find his way back into the team after that, unfortunately, but the player. he is supremely skilled and certainly makes Chelsea a very different proposition now that he is on the pitch. Here is the declassified, as many Harvey Bell fans can see ontonight here is Amari Hutchinson, unfortunately for him, he will be lacking a little fitness. I suppose he was out and didn't play consistently, so that's something that would probably have been looked at since he came back to Cobham to look for it.

If he gets back up to speed he'll only get it through games so see how he does in the time left and yes, Mother Seal's poor performance, but probably in terms of the three, he was probably less confident in possession , some of that is because Lo tries, he's a little off, but yeah, I'd be disappointed if he couldn't score a goal. Good support, so I would like to steal it. This is my own sound, but I'll give it to you. Lee Parker who just put this in our Hilario group chat, a man who obviously knows this very well, but it is interesting that the last two goalkeepers who have played for Chelsea under 21 in the last three games are internationals for their country .

Incredible is that Lucas Bergstrom, of course, did his Finnish and made his debut not long ago, in fact, in a friendly just after Christmas. I think it was so you got that and obviously before that you got the gargoyle Nina the new signing in golu in Currently the moment is out with the US national team and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of him so I think That shows the standard. We were talking about Lucas Morris going to Tottenham Hotspur, but we are in a position. Right now when you look at two goalkeepers who have lined up for Chelsea in the most recent Pl2 games, they are both internationals for their team, that is the level we are talking about and that is the level we are talking about, you have I have to get over this. night and currently West Ham are doing quite well, yes and yes, they don't roll off the tongue in terms of Academy graduates who have made it to the Chelsea first team compared to outfield players, which is Obviously, It's a tough job to do, but yeah, it would be nice to have one or two in time to break into the first team and make that transition, my mates, you know, give me Pidgey for a few minutes, right?

Lenny Jamal. Blackman was around, he wasn't for several years, but Jamal was probably the last one. I think he was actually in the Champions League team, it was nothing, yeah obviously a lot of longevity in his career in the lower leagues. but yeah, there hasn't been one that has made it jump up and become a consistent first team level, so I hope that happens in the next few years, certainly positioning the Academy created for Chelsea, which is very competitive, gimme a chance if Mason blows up. here you're not just looking at Lucasburg shrimp or slanina, you're looking at Eddie Beach, obviously, Teddy curd Prince had a goke and a lot of good goalkeepers, Max Merrick, and in the 18s there are a lot of good goalkeepers at Chelsea. right now, so you're absolutely right.

I know it's obviously a very important position for any team, so if you do it for Chelsea on a regular basis you have to be the best and certainly at Cobham you won't get anywhere unless you are the best, so That's why they're here and that's why Dylan Williams has the ball on the left side currently for Chelsea. Thanks for causing the cross towards Nice and bursting out, although he did very well there to challenge the goalkeeper quite the Sawyer quartet very lively on this left side for the last time United taking the lead in the north London derby in tl2 this afternoon we go , come on, let's announce who wants my good because they can't return the five-up reminder that things were going to stay as they are Chelsea would still be finished in tl2 currently, but on Monday night or Monday afternoon I should say that Crystal Palace hosts Manchester City and if the results go their way, they would return to the top of tl2, but Crystal Palace is on the heels of both Manchester City and Chelsea, just two points behind Manchester City, so that their home record is very good and it is quite imaginative that one does not have an advantage and makes some bursts, although in this case perhaps only one or two too many are played by the West Ham defense.

He was very good tonight. Mason expressed his understanding of the position. He seems to be growing using his body to good effect to attack the ball excellently in the 18 yard area. Good connection game. to be a slightly different setup now as in Hutchison and Harvey Bell playing there are two tens with um Mason awarding just in the middle so I think that has been adjusted since Harvey Bell in the introduction is not a center forward so which kind of makes sense and Murray Hudson has a little bit of company, a little bit of area behind the center forward, so let's see if that can have an effect on the West Dan defensive line, maybe it almost looks like a little bit of a hybrid system right now with, like I said, two. tens and classify as a more attacking winger than Dylan Williams is a little more attacking on this left side, but I hope we see a little more of that once Chelsea can get the ball back, but Murray Hudson concedes the foul there.

Look at Harvey Bell's position there, yes, he's in defensive mode, but he's probably back into some kind of box shape. Robinson, it's been a long time since George Earth opened the scoring tonight. 65 minutes were played here at King's Meadow Chelsea do Trail by three goals to one. It should have been three, two, one for a fantastic save from Christian Hagee on the West Ham goal. Zach Sturge at the feet of Harvey Vale towards Dion's leaderboard. He does it well, but Charlie Webster does it better. Is there a foreign kabu who can't clear it yet? although it is not a doubt, it allows to understand the opportunity to pass the ball only to the extent that Zach Sturgey does it very well, although to lift the ball again, here is Harvey Vale Hutchinson, who will hit it, it is a good save from Heggy, thanks everyone, come inside. from Abu Cassidy some good deliveries into the box.

Casey did well to defend the former. Too bad he just walked into his area, not the most statuesque of West hand defenders, it's a really good effort, this just doesn't happen. the hype maybe I was looking to try and get that in the top right corner, I guess I just can't get it up off the grass, the grass is comfortable enough, let's say maybe they just kissed the post and the post delivery cancelled, they just tried. to generate some power, perhaps just the direction was the most important thing there, in the direction of which a couple of good chances had come in quick succession, should give Chelsea hope to continue and realize that not everything is lost, looks towards Hutchinson's feet he has Vale Racing as support he uses it he has the chimney burst if he can find it he squares it he finds it Chelsea is back in this a brilliant counter-attacking goal Hutchinson to Vale and Mason burst in at the far post Chelsea Two West Ham United three deserve their goal without a doubt.

I've talked several times tonight about the speed of the attack, the intensity with which the four players have played and again I think Amari Hutchison's body language and he receives it. The speed at which he plays just encourages perfect tempo and Harvey Bell knows that he only has one place to put, he only has one player to hit and the execution is perfect, incredible explosion, since I just mentioned the versatility of him . The display has been really encouraging tonight, he continued to push forward and now has a goal to show with an excellent all-round performance from the striker.

The sixth goal in pl2 leaves him alone, he is Chelsea's top scorer in that Harvey Veil impact. As a substitute against Fulham in last weekend's win, he provided an assist. At times when he came on as a substitute, he did exactly the same thing again tonight, that ensured that composure in the final third and you'll see how big a figure he will be. I will be at Chelsea in the coming months as they continue their title fight and I now have 20 minutes to try and get something back from this game. Casey becomes earthy. I can't speak if I'm Robinson.

The overlap could fall on any number and Sawyer can. He places his knee on the ball and whips it towards the roof of the Terrace. Almost what an opportunity. I'm parking fine. You can't believe it. You can't believe what we're seeing. Chelsea just got it. Back to the game, an almighty fight here, you feel like he's going to fall to a force of fire and you just push him across the line somehow. Chelsea escaped this first type of fight and then falls to the ground at the far post and just can't. Wrapping it around with your left foot is a tough shot.

To be fair, but he's probably just looking to smash it into the roof of the net, but he gets underneath it on the second view and quickly closed in on him, right? I stay still leading by three. goals to two, Obama has two of those for West Ham United after George Earthy opened the scoring. Chelsea came back in alongside Charlie Webster and once again made some bursts, although he has been involved in everything Chelsea have done well tonight, there he is again. to qualify, she shot a little while he aimed for that near post, a little surprised that he chose to take it to the field first, although he was really in the song again, the waiter's pass is good, it really just draws the drop towards the ball, could have gone.

On the outside, okay, I'm sorting out and he strangles his deflected shot harmlessly, but about 20 minutes done, now you're a West Ham player, you're starting to look at that clock and hoping that maybe the handling can affect things with a pair. of changes just to relieve the pressure that is building. I have six minutes to wait, but 20 minutes is a good chunk of the game. If you're Robbie, neutral persuasion, then good evening, thank you very much for joining us and what a game of The Football You Chose, if you have the West Ham perspective, it could get even better at the moment because here's Sawyer, everyone just can't finding the far post, another half chance, so for West Ham it seems we have been taking advantage of them so far. tonight and Sawyer couldn't redirect It On Target, he seemed like a good player, hasn't he slowed things down slightly throughout?

I think space is behind, Abu, it's a focus ofreally good game. The classification actually regrets that it is put. back to the deepest defensive position he only uses a shield he will bend it towards the far post but he does not achieve the curve of the ball there is another that made his first team lean already Kamari Sawyer and one is a substitute in November in the league conference for West Ham United, so again, a player who is rated very highly in tonight's inspection, you can certainly see why two of these players are very ready for the next step, can't you?

Charlie Webster is one of the ones who does it brilliantly well, he does some He broke out, although in the same way it is Hutchinson, you know, Cassidy, I throw the ball to Williams so that he just makes fun of the barriers. It broke out, you can distinguish it in all the classifications. Kim palms down to the Hefty, gathers there for Josh Brooken and gives my Bama probably one of the easiest fouls I have to give tonight, yeah, it's a poor challenge. I think he feels like he can just pass the ball over the side, but it's actually smart, the centre-forward just positioned his body and made sure Brooke couldn't get there.

A good shot too, so Freddie Potts who is on the ground at the moment, this time I also did a chest down change as it looked like we're going down the field, come on, yeah, Dan Chester has come in as goalscorer. George Earthy, I mean, just over 20 minutes to play, it's Freddy Potts falling on the edge of your picture, you can see it there, but I think he's getting treatment right now. He seemed harmless. Hopefully it's nothing serious for Tops because he's had a good night, but the Chelsea physio is assisting to help his West Ham counterparts give the players who are down some treatment they need to stop play slightly.

So Sam, there's about 15 minutes left, what was Mark Robinson's message? Be in this small group. that he'll do it about 10 feet away, I think it's probably some tactical nuances now that West Armor will be a little deeper. I'd say they've still had some chances on the counterattack in the last five minutes since then. Given that Chelsea got back to within a goal, it was interesting that the position of Harvey Bell and Hutchinson now, I think probably because West Ham are going to go down and maybe the space will be in front of them and it's up to those two to conjure up. a bit of Magic, the space beyond probably won't be as obvious as it was in the first period, so it'll probably be in those two, I'd say above any other, possibly giving Chelsea a share of the spoilers or A better change is coming.

I'm here to seal Ollie Skulls who is also doing his fight, as is Juan Castillo, you will replace Dylan Williams, so I have a direct exchange with Imagine Sam in terms of a left side player in Castillo, yes, and he has good experience. For this level, I hope you can produce some magic, some really good moments at the academy. 23 Now I looked up before the game, so we're asking for a lot of experience compared to some of the younger guys that are there tonight, hopefully. can absolutely inspire recovery, yes, as you mentioned, he's 23 years old, he's been international from 15 to 20 for the Netherlands national team and he came to the IX Academy, so you know you're going to get a player to go. to bring a certain amount of composure to the ball, hopefully it's certainly I'm sure the message to him has been exactly that: bring a little composure and we're good.

He will have a chance at the end of the game. I certainly just hope he falls Chelsea's way. Here's the captain tonight. Josh Brooken as he pushes. gone white there we go abroad still a little discomfort for Freddy Potts in the middle of the park come on, come on, another change for me Stan was Reagan Clayton was replaced by Oliver the location of the skulls still making it very strong Mr. burst plans of conversion to get around him a little quicker, but Hutchinson chose to go with Castillo and his Webster, so we're going to book Derek Abu, no, I don't want to be that guy Sam, but I think there will be a red one that will go.

Coming out in a second because of this rash, we see it very often, don't we try to compensate for the mistake and just immerse ourselves in the challenge? We'll never be able to get anything on the ball, the clubs were coming out. Okay, so Chelsea is reduced to 10. Given her marching orders, the task is a little more difficult now, 10 minutes until Chelsea is reduced to 10. Well, we ask that the character be a test character, now it advances almost very. His toes were almost cut off, but Harvey Val has done the same to Robinson. Now Cassidy joins.

She could also be his Chester. He is a good headbutt from Obama. The player that is Chelsea will have to deal with the rest of the game without, but in the first half, you'll remember that little clip of Sawyer around the corner and let's see who gets in the box a little bit, we come together and his second book of the three eventually Miss Marching Orders, yes, a lesson for him a bit. Isn't it just that you don't commit to the ground? Yeah, you have to say he hasn't done too many challenges in the game, but yeah, they both probably justified the other cards.

The referee pointed to the ball, but it seemed like it was our touch. According to the referee, you can hear it looked like a foul, right? But the referee insisted it was the West Ham player's toe, he just pushed it. Webster moving towards Stego, it's a beautiful ball that would eventually buy skulls. Take a look at these Louisiana suppliers, get anything on the ball, Charlie, where's the lack of breaking isn't it, it was a bit yeah, back to Vale yesterday, brilliant, wonderful football from Chelsea and of course that has arrived. I think it was the closing of Dion's classification.

At the far post, Chelsea can't believe they are not even and could be further behind here like Obama. I'll get your point in just a second, Sam, because my annoyance ran away from a chance at nothing before and scored. so we'll stick with this for the moment, Robinson, how the hell are Chelsea not on a level playing field? Good brilliant game again. Harvey Okay, you're thinking when he lands on his left foot, just put a lot of pace on him down the six-yard line. the box sorting comes perfectly on cue, he just seemed to die, didn't he? he's falling trapped in the six yard box momentarily what an escape and take a look at him now as you said brilliant opening play initially from Harvey Vale and Mason exploded that he's been doing this all night hasn't he? depth of touch to cut the ball around the corner it's between Hutchinson and if it hits Hutchinson but it's a brilliant one two you think Rankin will just score I think so I think he misses the rhythm a bit this is a bit of a collision with his teammate, whether it's over the line, it's not conclusive, isn't it from this angle?

But again, the referee's assistant looked straight at him, kept his pose, the ball was cleared and was still close to the corner. Flag simply made sure his decision must have been close, you could tell by the reaction of the two Chelsea players. I have to say in that case, as much as it pains me to say: "You have to give the Defenders the I will give them." I guess the benefit of the doubt if you can't definitely see him over the line, I'm not sure if we'll be okay with that on your part as a centre-forward, but I think you're going to have it both ways.

You have to have it like this, right? I can not believe it. I haven't seen the two of them there. I thought you know up to 10. Missing a little numbers and make it real. precision to create opportunities, but is it blue and white at the far post looking to tie? Unfortunately, it looks like he maybe he was actually deflected off goal again. Here again, Harvey Val's brilliant play has been a huge influence since he came off the bench. He's just almost joining in, isn't he? Yeah, it looks like Hudson maybe failing. The sorting turns it towards the goalkeeper and then it's a combination of the two that takes the sting out of the ball and just drags it over the line.

I'll be honest, we've seen it three times and not once have I followed the ball. I've just been looking at who showed up all three times with the weird arm there or something because he has a minor back injury. his face actually isn't one that would cause him much more time off the field because Chelsea were momentarily down to nine and with less than four minutes left, the original 90 minutes to play, every second certainly counts for Chelsea in this one. moment. free kick in an advanced position Kaelyn Casey and her West teammates below are not looking to be adventurous with this who said it is going to fall to appear forson Now Chelsea can break their Charlie Webster moves away from the bounces he does very well he keeps going he is Hutchinson Amari Hutchinson Good Feet arrow angle defended very well Webster will try to play well defended again.

We're at Chelsea Corner. Nice escape, although Sam just rejected the opportunity to hit. Hutchinson until it was too late. There is a small tug on the shirt. The referee failed. Charlie Webster should have done it. It was a free kick, the Ricochet I thought was going to lead to a West Ham goal kick, but maybe it was equalized because Chelsea should have had the free kick in the corner and then stopped deep towards the far post and he headed into a dangerous area but he is able to pick that up for West Ham and we will try to keep the ball for as long as possible now and to be fair to them they haven't closed their doors in the second half I think with a 3 -1 of that type.

It gave him the opportunity to be much more pragmatic but exploit Chelsea in transition and he came in on a number of occasions so it hasn't been a complete backs to the wall effort from the Hammers so you have to give them credit for that. keep It's a really open show. It was a great football game. We'll keep coming back to what you say. If you're a neutral draw tonight you've picked a good game to watch because Chelsea still have minutes on the clock to try and find an equalizer at least but they were left with 10 men after Caboose sent off here's Amari Hutchinson , it's Theo for his substitute partner Harvey Vale lovely feet Zach Sturge is usually a left back or I see him playing on the left wing back he has played in the back four right centre-half in a back Fort showing his versatility tonight here he is Okay, let's go towards the near post he has dealt although like Casey very well in the heart of the West Ham defense tonight However, there is another opportunity for Charlie Webster to load up the Chelsea box with a double change for West Ham and it will be Michael Forbes and Archie Woods as Chelsea are ready and Jaden wears them as we urge the 90th minute for Keenan to appear strongly and will be replaced by Archie Woods' man has had a very good night in Kamari Sawyer's number for Michael Forbes to see who will replace Jaden Wareham.

Six minutes of extra time for Chelsea to get back into this, then the changeover will pause momentarily for Chelsea to take the set piece Charlie. Webster cleared alone as far as qualifying is concerned here's Hutchinson straight back to Vale I don't understand anything on the web stop oh that's brilliant to say another brilliant save from the heggy Charlie Webster does everything right there Sam did wonderfully well to control it towards the objective The hard-to-hit ball was not caught flush, but it required an exceptional save and another that I presumably saw late. It's a deep corner, this time towards an explosion towards Cassaday.

I mean, as for the net, stop swerving, I don't think so, maybe it's not a goal kick. That's a good idea again, there's a fraction too much in the shot, the time left for Western to open themselves up for another opportunity and I think they've responded very, very well in this second half, you can see there's confidence in the way they for Chelsea to attack, this is really good, plus just keeping it alive, it's a great save, it really is. I think there have been several players on the field who could be argued to have been the player of the match.

I think West Ham's goalkeepers are definitely in that conversation. The captain's performance. from West Ham goalkeeper Christian Hickey to Castillo alone until Robinson Webster tries to get rid of it but Robertson does well. It's a thunderous tackle from Brooking thanks to the shot too but he won't get it. Yes, they had two high-performance players tonight. Aren't they goalkeeper Peggy and Obama at the other end and that could ultimately be the three points for them? A couple of outstanding saves from Bursto's header, you might need to see a better save, pl2, one of them anywhere in the competitions this weekend.

It's a phenomenal save, he's just got another brilliant one from Charlie Webster, but the centre-forward has been excellent. His punchline could spark a fight. On cue, I'm Obama and I know that yes, that will force Bergstrom into action. Well to his left, I know this conversation will be going on all over the country no matter what team you support, but Osama is short of goals in the Premier League and he went out and spent some money on Danny Ings, but when you lookproduction line and someone like David Mubama has had a small sniff of first team action in the Premier League against Arsenal as a late substitute for West Ham over the festive period.

Certainly, if you're looking ahead, you can certainly see him playing a pop because He, like you said, Sam, is very, very good tonight, late corner for the Hammers. Here he went out of line. Maybe Bergstrom couldn't get out, but I think we'll try to use them back. Isn't he on the goal line? He looks like Casey. I'm going to get West Ham's fourth goal, maybe a block on Bergstrom, they couldn't get out of the six-yard box, but that's what we're doing, that good spin that Jayden uses from the way he replaced Mason, burst into the last moments, I think.

I forced all the way back to Bergstrom, he does very well to challenge that there is a chance that the small blades of the substitute forged in Bergstrom allow Casey to get a free header at the far post, but they are well placed to deflect the Danger away, it's Webster About 90 seconds left to play here at King's Meadow Chelsea looking for an equalizer the referee pulls it off for a foul on Charlie Webster's chance foot maybe one or two players who step forward will throw caution to the wind a little over time in fact, it's Zach Sturgis stepping up to offer a little more physical presence, now pop those who are gone and applauding, they will certainly be a target, in fact it will be Lucas Bergstrom who will take the referee what he wants to do.

I'm sure everyone is in exactly the right position. Hutchinson was going to get there, but this time enough he can advance with Chesters enough to force him into a substitute and win the ball. Actually, Charlie Webster and Hutchinson can exchange passes, so no. On the side of the Chelsea referee in Cassidy's way sometimes there are things that I will never understand, I think because the referee was in the way in which he has to release the ball. I think in the 96th minute, I don't think it's necessary all the time. In fact, we're already past the initially allotted six minutes as Bergstrom was going to find Harvey Vale, although on the left side Cassidy on the overlap uses Cassidy to steal a lot of time against Chelsea now.

Harvey Vale on the point of Castillo, he has gone for a Chelsea corner, we are in the 98th minute. Charlie Webster will have one last chance, we assume he will carry the box at this moment, this will be almost fine, that is Jayden Wareham, although still It has not finished. issued today with a quick motion here's where the shot went off at the end and that's full time. Chelsea's long unbeaten run in po2 has come to an end and it is their neighbors across the capital who have inflicted an early goal from George Earthy. before going mabama double West Ham advantage Charlie Webb still managed to get Chelsea back into the conversation before Obama had his say again on the stroke of half-time 3-1 at half-time a lot of work to do for Chelsea, they certainly got back into it in this with Mason First, although with 20 odd minutes left, Derek Abu receives his marching orders and Chelsea continues to knock on the door, but in a frantic game of football it has been a brilliant game.

Tonight I thought both teams were going for it from the start. Chelsea can't be deterred by some really good things in an attacking sense. Very good attitude in the second half in particular. I felt like they were chasing the game but they just got outplayed. for a few defensive mistakes tonight and sometimes you give yourself too much to do and I think that's probably how the staff will reflect on tonight you can't give the teams to move on, then they went to three one, right? um at the end of the first half and it was a bit of a mountain to climb but some really good individual displays and you're not going to be undefeated for the entire season from the end of August to the end of the season so after just cleaning up and achieve in the next few weeks and I hope to have some positive results and some important games to come.

An exciting game of football at Kings Meadow this afternoon. I started with my stamp taking the lead and High Press caused Chelsea some problems initially and then We got to Georgia's foot basket, we gave West Ham the lead in 13 minutes, yes it was difficult from the start of the game the way They set up West Ham because they were very tall and aggressive, especially when Bergson had the ball and obviously. made a costly mistake there, it's well finished, I think just with the turn, flashing towards the near post, maybe a suspicion of offside there right between the two center halves, but the flag stayed low and finished it well foot, doubled his lead.

Casey, who returned the ball to the goal and Bergstrom initially saved Obama, could not deny him on the second attempt and did. Obama was going to have a big hand in the proceedings tonight, that's his first goal of the night, yes it is. He has been quiet until then, but his name appears on the record. You know Chelsea don't react to that second ball if you want, first of all, it will happen. Sometimes you can miss a header, but the next phase is where you need to be. a little safer with an immediate response from Chelsea, brilliant build-up player here involving Mallet Mother Silk and then Charlie Webster finishing fatally, yes, brilliant goal, wonderful build-up.

I thought the forward players linked up incredibly well in the first half, excellent awareness of other seals and he knows exactly what he's doing there Charlie Webster, that's no fluke, he's not just trying to hit the target, he's cutting in the ball pointing to that corner, it had to be something special, right? Being a goalkeeper in a fantastic Night Never scores. a touch on Charlie Weston is him and again they built the game between Mason Burst and Amari Hutchinson they almost got Chelsea's equalizer, yes they never really got into tune at this stage of the game, the fingertip was needed to save the big moment, Isn't that true in retrospect? a couple of really bad errors, you have to say, he has to deal with that, the first ball and then Webster needs to show him on the outside, maybe Lucas Burks won't be disappointed that he hasn't been able to cross over and lend a hand.

But yes, the center forward had a good game. Obama impressed with him throughout. He keeps the ball well and at this moment someone who told you that it would end in the goal, you wouldn't believe it. You know it's the Chelsea goalkeeper 3 on 1. well positioned to deal with that, it's a very good precise finish from him, in the end it's really on the scoreboard at half time and we said at the time it certainly changes the tone of the game. halftime talk if you get in one or three. one less, but Chelsea in the second half came out calling and mentioned especially well that the goalkeeper had a storm in the second half, what can I say, this is from Christian Hickey, it is outstanding and it is a brilliant header for Mason first, although you also have to say that he is a phenomenal goalkeeper.

Chelsea got the reward in the end. Harvey Val was immediately involved as he came off the bench and Mason blew up, although he got his reward. A brilliant goal. Wonderful things from Hutchinson could await a pass. Harvey Vale knows when it travels towards him. had a touch to put on a layup for personal burst just stays away from defenders stays between players in space Harvey Bell finds him deserved that goal I thought he was very good tonight that was an 8 out of 10 performance from Mason persto so I also had some opportunities in the second half, as you mentioned in the comment, Sami, it didn't really close at any time, they are always in front and also try to affect things and you have to do that.

Give him credit for that because I guess that's why it was such a good game of football and Chelsea looked open, you know, when they opened, I'm sorry, when they got back into the game on a few occasions. I'm going to stand up almost immediately, he made them. pay and yes on another night there could have been more goals in the game, it was a really open and entertaining Fair West. I'm on a run of chances in the second half in transition, rather than an impressive figure. Standing where Stan It was Murray Sawyer that we saw approaching there and he is also involved in this tangle that saw Derekaboo's second booking of the night, although there were quite a few players involved and I think it is something for a while to find his card and eventually yes, and You would have felt that would have been the end of Chelsea's challenge but it wasn't and I think that's testament to the players tonight it was reduced to 10.

Tactically things change a bit, it's more about guts and pace, condition physically, but even with the 10 men. They created a number of opportunities, especially on Harvey's left side, although it had a very good effect when he came in and how that stays out. I don't know, a really good movement put together by the left and you'd expect one of those. two players in the picture just to score, the opportunities kept coming. Charlie Webster here, lovely controlled volley and again another top class save from the goalkeeper, yes Heggy had a brilliant night, it has to be said in the second half, two huge saves do you think? he got past it and somehow just throws his right hand towards the ball and deflects it completely fine, yeah, good performance from the West Ham goalkeeper, a good performance all around to be fair.

I think it's been a fantastic night of football but it's just the start of a weekend of football here at Fifth Stand Up, make sure you join us for what's coming up over the next few days including tomorrow morning we'll be in the London Derby Chelsea versus Tottenham in the under 18 Premier League 5 to 11. Let's go for that one for the 11 o'clock kick-off and then on Sunday it will be the Women's FA Cup Chelsea against Liverpool at Kings Meadow five to one for the start at 1 p.m. Sam, thanks so much for your company tonight, mate. JoJo is a brilliant game to watch, unfortunately he hasn't fared like Chelsea.

Ends here at King's Meadow Chelsea Two West Ham United three thanks
