PL2 report: Blackburn Rovers 2 Chelsea 3 (Chelsea FC)

Our development squad returned to winning ways as they came out on top against Blackburn Rovers. Omari Hutchinson, Dion Rankine and a late own-goal were ...

There were numerous chances to take the lead as Hutchinson cut inside well and his subsequent shot was saved well by Dowling. He fired across the face of goal looking for Wareham, but the ball was sent flying into the net by Rovers defender Jalil Saadi. Seconds later Burstow found himself with only the keeper to beat again but Dowling saved impressively well. The striker would make up for his miss as moments later, the game was level. Huge let-off for the young Rovers. Our opponents did not heed to that warning, and we were ahead with only six minutes gone.
