PL2 Report: Chelsea 2 Manchester City 2
26 Aug 2022
It was a fascinating clash at Kingsmeadow as both sides shared the spoils
in a 2-2 draw, Harvey Vale and Lewis Hall the Chelsea goalscorers on the
day against Manchester City.

Our young Blues were embroiled in an entertaining game against Manchester
City which ended 2-2.
The game was extremely fast paced as both sides were looking to put
pressure on each other to stake their authority on the game.
The first chance of the match was a header by Vale, but he could not
direct it on target. The young Citizens had a few chances of their own
with Oscar Bobb and Will Dickson having close efforts.
It was our young Blues who broke the deadlock, with Vale pouncing on a
loose ball in the penalty area. Just before half-time though, the away
side levelled as Kian Breckin's shot from just outside the area found the
top corner of the net, albeit with the aid of a deflection off Bashir
Humphreys.
With a goal just before half-time, City carried their momentum with a
second just after the break as Bobb fired into the net after a quick
corner routine. There were several missed opportunities from the away side
as goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli made key saves throughout the second
period to keep us in the game.
This proved to be vital, as with time running out, second-half substitute
Hall found some space at the edge of the box and stuck an effort which
went underneath the goalkeeper to level the scores.

The team showed great fight to equalise late on against a very good
Manchester City team
It was a great game which both sides contributed to as our development
squad halted their run of defeats.
== Team news ==
There were a number of changes made for this clash as Mark Robinson
brought Xavier Mbuyamba, Vale and Humphreys back into his side after
knocks kept them out against Arsenal.

Bashir Humphreys, Xavier Mbuyamba and Harvey Vale all returned to the
line-up after minor knocks
Carney Chukwuemeka and Marcus Bettinelli were the senior team
representatives in the game as they both started too.
== Frantic start ==
The first 20 minutes of the game were frantic and end-to-end, two
academies with tremendous amounts of talent on display. Our young Blues
fashioned the first opportunity of the game as the in-form Dion Rankine
lofted a delightful cross into the area, which met the head of Vale, but
his effort sailed over the bar.

Bashir Humphreys returned to the side as captain after missing the game
against Arsenal due to injury
The away side were next to have a chance and they stung the gloves of
Bettinelli in goal as a drilled effort from Dickson after good work from
Adedire Mebude and Borges brought out a top save by the experienced
keeper.
== Close calls ==
Following the fast start from both sides, City settled into a rhythm and
their high pressure almost gave them lead as Mbuyamba's misplaced pass
fell to Mebude, who laid it off to Bobb, but his curled effort was saved
well by Bettinelli.
Soon after, Kian Breckin played a fantastic through-ball to Borges and the
pacy winger, one-on-one with the goalkeeper, blazed his effort over the
bar.
We came straight back at our opponents with a lovely piece of build-up
play, which was led by Chukwuemeka. The summer signing drove into the area
before playing a good pass into Mason Burstow, but with the goal gaping
the young forward hooked his effort wide. It was a huge chance.

Carney Chukwuemeka was making his second appearance in the PL2 this evening
against Manchester City
== Goals in quick succession ==
It was not long until the deadlock was broken and on his return from
injury Vale opened the scoring. Good work in the moments leading to the
goal from Charlie Webster allowed Burstow to receive the ball in the area.
His attempted shot ricocheted off a City defender and fell into the path
of Vale, who fired into the net.

Harvey Vale scored his third goal of the PL2 season after opening the
scoring in this fixture
It was looking like our young Blues would head into the half-time break
with the lead, but a loose ball in midfield was picked up by Breckin and
he drove goalwards before shooting from distance. A deflection off
Humphreys took the ball beyond Bettinelli and into the net.
== Poor start to the second half ==
The second half's first chance fell to Breckin as he capitalised on sloppy
play in the middle of the park, but with only the keeper to beat
Bettinelli won the battle, saving excellently.
However, the resulting corner was well-worked and Bobb jinked his way into
the area, smashing from an acute angle to double his side’s lead.
Our young Blues were beginning to look stretched and a fast break from
City gave them an opportunity to grab a third. Breckin drove towards goal
and laid the ball off for Mebude, whose first-time effort was firmly
palmed away by Bettinelli.
== Pushing for an equaliser ==
It was not until the hour mark that we created our first chance of the
second period. Chukwuemeka found himself in acres of space as he edged
closer to goal, but his long-range effort flew over the bar.
Second-half substitute Hall was next to try his luck as he cut in sharply
from the right-hand side of the pitch, his shot dropping just wide. Very
soon after, Vale made a great run off the ball and was found by Omari
Hutchinson, but his first-time shot was dragged harmlessly wide.
We almost levelled the scores as an early right-footed cross by Hutchinson
found another substitute Jayden Wareham and he volleyed goalwards, but the
goalkeeper Josh McNamara's positioning helped him to save well.
The lively Mebude was played through on goal again but, as he had done all
night, Bettinelli was in the right place to save with his face.
== Equaliser found! ==
With just under 10 minutes to go, Hall, in a similar fashion to his
earlier effort, cut in from the right and fired an shot which flew
underneath the keeper into the net. McNamara will be very disappointed
with that.

Lewis Hall opened his scoring account this season with a great goal from
distance
Almost instantly, though, from their kick-off, City should have gone ahead
through Josh Adam as he was through on goal, but he shot wide.
There was a late shout for a penalty as Leo Castledine was seemingly
tripped by a City defender, but the referee waved away the claims.
That was how the game would end. With both sides having led at points and
both needing equalisers, a 2-2 draw seemed like a fair result after a
high-intensity game.
