Under-18s report: Chelsea 4-1 West Brom

11 Jan 2025


It was a successful Saturday afternoon for Chelsea Under-18s as three different goalscorers helped secure all three points and set the tone for 2025 with a commanding victory over West Bromwich Albion in our first fixture since the return.

The Blues delivered a brilliant performance from start to finish against West Brom at Cobham on a chilly Saturday afternoon.

Chelsea started strong, immediately putting pressure on our opponents. Shumaira Mheuka was a constant threat to West Brom's defence and opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a powerful penalty after being brought down by Rhys Morrish.

The advantage soon doubled when Leo Cardoso, facing his former club, found the net with an unstoppable strike from a tight angle. Mheuka added his second of the match after finishing off a perfectly-executed cross from schoolboy Ryan Kavuma-McQueen.

West Brom managed to pull one back just before the interval when Divine Onyemachi powered in a thumping header. Despite this setback, Chelsea maintained composure and continued to dominate after the break.

The win was secured comfortably when Ollie Harrison capped off the performance with a stunning Panenka penalty, sealing the first three points of 2025 in style.

== Bright start ==

Chelsea began the game with a lively tempo, dominating possession right from the start. The team showcased smooth build-up play, with Cardoso excelling on the wing, advancing the ball and putting consistent pressure on the West Brom defence.

Just five minutes in, schoolboy Reggie Walsh unleashed a stinging low strike from the edge of the area, forcing a sharp diving save from Louis Brady. It was an early sign of Chelsea’s attacking intent.

The breakthrough came shortly after and it was a moment of brilliance from our striker Mheuka. His tricky footwork inside the penalty area left Morrish struggling, and the defender’s desperate challenge brought him down. The referee wasted no time pointing to the spot. Mheuka stepped up confidently and dispatched the penalty with precision, firing straight down the middle to give Chelsea the lead.

== Relentless pressure ==

After the opening goal, Chelsea maintained our intensity, looking increasingly dangerous with each attack. A near miss followed when Cardoso delivered a curling corner into the box. Calvin Diakite latched onto it and set up Mheuka, but in the resulting scramble, the ball drifted agonisingly wide.

Kavuma-McQueen was a constant menace on the wing, combining pace and power to keep West Brom pinned back. One of his electrifying runs ended with a brilliant strike, only for Noah Dupont to intervene with a crucial deflection to deny what seemed a certain goal.

== Inevitable second ==

The Blues’ dominance made a second goal feel inevitable and it arrived in stunning fashion. Cardoso, who had been instrumental throughout, weaved into the penalty area and unleashed a rocket from a tight angle, sending the ball into the top corner. The West Brom keeper could do nothing but watch as Chelsea extended our lead.


Moments later, we came close to a third when Kavuma-McQueen sprinted down the flank and unleashed a thunderous shot. The effort rattled the crossbar, denying him a deserved place on the scoresheet.

However, the schoolboy didn’t have to wait long for a moment of glory. The third goal came through a brilliant team move, showcasing Chelsea’s team bond. Walsh threaded a precise through ball to Kavuma-McQueen, who surged down the pitch into space. His perfectly timed cut-back found Mheuka, who calmly tapped in for his second goal of the game.


Despite Chelsea’s dominance, West Brom showed resilience. The visitors capitalised on a set-piece to reduce the gap just before half-time. Miller McDonald delivered a pinpoint corner to the back post, where Onyemachi rose highest to head the ball into the net. The score stood at 3-1 as the teams headed into the break.

== Battle continues ==

The second period began with the same intensity, as action flowed end to end. West Brom pushed forward through substitute Abdul Abudu, who tested the Blues early with a fierce low shot. However, Blues keeper Hudson Sands was equal to the task, making a strong save.

Chelsea responded with two consecutive attempts to secure a fourth goal. The first came from Kavuma-McQueen, who once again showcased his brilliance with a surging run before unleashing a powerful strike from distance. Despite the pace and force behind it, the shot sailed just over the crossbar.

The second chance felt even closer. Our attacking right-back Genesis Antwi cut the ball back perfectly for Walsh, who was waiting patiently at the edge of the area. He struck the ball cleanly on target, but Brady reacted sharply, diving down to deny the effort with an impressive save.


== Perfect penalty ==

Substitute Yahya Idrissi wasted no time in making an impact. Using his tricky footwork, he danced his way into the penalty area, where Charlie Blackshields brought him down, earning us a second penalty of the afternoon.

This time, Under-18s captain Harrison stepped up to the spot. With composure, he chipped the ball into the back of the net, extending our lead further.


However, the Blues were dealt an unexpected setback as Cardoso was forced off with an injury, leaving the team down to ten men. West Brom seized the opportunity, pressing forward.

Joseph Wheeler-Henry drew a foul from Adam Letlat, resulting in a penalty for the visitors. Cole Deeming stepped up to take it, but his right-footed strike smashed against the post.

== What's next ==

Chelsea Under-18s are set to play our next match on Wednesday 15 January in the FA Youth Cup fourth round. We will face Merstham with the game kicking off at 7pm at Kingsmeadow.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chelsea Youth：天候允許，今早有檢查球場狀況，可以踢，但變成 13:00 開賽。

延後一小時到 13:00 開賽。

情況有變，不知是否影響直播。
換個球場踢，直播可以。
跟本季平時的雙後腰不同，今天是踢單後腰的 433，隨著 U16 的球員們升上來，要配合他們的發展。
卡夫馬麥昆是最有趣的，因為他特點強大，雖然還不夠全面，但畢竟才剛滿 16 歲而已。

之前小車常常對弱隊翻車，但今天對上本季聯賽只拿一勝的西布朗終於啃了下去，很好。
小車下一輪青年足總盃的對手幾乎是最弱隊，但只能在忙碌的賽程中專注了。

發展隊週一和週五都有比賽，可能會影響到戴爾和梅烏卡的出賽時間。
新的比賽方法和模型會越來越顯著，下半季值得好好關注。
-------------------------------------------------------------------
延後開賽又換球場，變成家長席視角.... 開場沒多久梅烏卡賺點自己罰進，接著繼續狂攻，中段卡多索右線殺入怒射擴大比分，卡夫馬麥昆左腳怒射中門框後換招牌切入傳中讓梅烏卡吃餅，雖然被角球追回一球，但整個上半場攻勢左中右都有發揮，哈里森單後腰足夠穩，埃梅納羅常常壓得很靠前但處理球非常好。

下半場一開始場面相對更均衡一些，但好機會只有沃許門前折射被撲出，安特威使出招牌衝衝衝也沒有把握住，最後才靠伊追西賺點讓哈里森罰進，而客隊補時前連點球都中柱，下半場跟上半場相比實在是沒勁啊....
