Brown plays as Chelsea youngsters lose to Aldershot

Izzy Brown featured as Chelsea’s development side lost 2-1 to Aldershot Town in a pre-season friendly on Monday evening.

Brown is wanted by a number of clubs, including newly promoted Huddersfield, where he spent the second half of last season on loan.

Defender Michael Hector was the visitors’ captain at the EBB Stadium, where Martell Taylor-Crossdale scored Chelsea’s goal.

Matt McClure netted twice for Aldershot before striker Taylor Crossdale pulled a goal back with 14 minutes remaining, finishing coolly after being found by Harvey St Clair.

George McEachran and St Clair went close to equalising in the final minutes.
