Chelsea are FA Youth Cup winners again

By

Chelsea won the FA Youth Cup for the second successive year, beating Manchester City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge and the final 5-2 on aggregate.

Leading 3-1 from last week’s first leg, the young Blues suffered a setback when Kelechi Iheanacho scored for the visitors.

But Chelsea hit back on 20 minutes, with Izzy Brown heading home from Charlie Colkett’s corner.

And Tammy Abraham’s goal – the striker’s 39th of the season – a couple of minutes into the second half meant there was no way back for City.

Chelsea’s victory is the club’s fourth Youth Cup triumph in six years and comes two weeks after their Under-19 side were crowned Uefa Youth League winners.
