Chelsea churn narrow win over Manchester United

Chelsea churn narrow win over Manchester United

Mumbai, Feb 25 (UNI) An English football classic kick-started the second day of the
PL-ISL Next Generation Cup Mumbai 2020 with Chelsea FC squaring off against
Manchester United FC at the Reliance Corporate Park Football Ground, Navi Mumbai
here today.
The Chelsea boys emerged 1-0 winners over their United counterparts, building on
their win from the previous evening.
The game began at a frenetic pace as the Young Blues quickly established a foothold
and started dominating possession. Reiss Alexander-Denny, in particular, was hugely
influential as he kept things ticking in midfield and kept orchestrating Chelsea’s offensive
moves.
In the 6th minute, the West Londoners surged ahead when Kamarni Ryan followed
through on Chinonso Chizuebe’s shot which rebounded off the goalpost. Ryan made
no mistake and slotted the ball home.
Manchester United U-14s responded well after conceding but failed to get the elusive
equaliser before the half-time whistle.
However, the closest they came was when Ruben Curley clattered the crossbar off a
direct free-kick from 25 yards in the dying embers of the first period.
In the second half, Ethan Wheatley helped United orchestrate a couple of attacks but
the Chelsea defence remained resolute. Louis Jackson fouled Jack Phillips and was
subsequently sent off for his challenge.
Despite being a man down, the Young Red Devils pressed on and went incredibly close
in the 46th minute when Finley McAllister’s shot was palmed away by Max Merrick as
Chelsea held on their second consecutive win of the tournament.
Result: Chelsea FC [Kamarni Ryan 6’] beat Manchester United FC: 1-0.
