But I like Sinclair more ...

He's really similar to Walcott. I've seen him live once and he is lightening.

[Sven]

theres no dowt about it, if you saw his goal today it was amazing.

Technical diffculties, its a shame was looking forward to it.

We gonna get slaughter though, youth side vs experince.

[Jose_Mourinho]

The youngsters will be up for it though...

[Sven]

Hopefully,

I dont rate Elmer,Yves Makalaymbay or Phill Younghusband, sooner they go better.

But looking forward to see Stoch make a 90 min impact. Instead of 10 mins.

[Jose_Mourinho]

Younghusbad seems to score quite a bit though.

Yves is crap though for sure. He'll be going hopefully.

[Sven]

Younghusband, has that eye for goal, but everything else about him is poor, wount ever make it for a prem team. Is going next year.

A hat-trick by 17-year-old Ben Sahar, with the first two goals set up by 16-year-old Sergio Tejera, took Chelsea Reserves to their most impressive win and performance of the season.

Chelsea looked to have taken the lead after just seven minutes when Phil Younghusband turned in Miroslav Stoch's ball forward after good work by Woods and Tejera, but he was flagged for offside.

The very young Chelsea side started with excellent tempo against the very experienced Villa, and dominated the first-half.

On his reserve team debut Sergio Tejera, playing the No 10 role ahead of midfielders Woods and Younghusband, was a constant threat with his Micky Hazard style of play.


And on his second start Miroslav Stoch had spells of genuine inspiration down the left-wing. The team was slightly lop-sided with Fabio Ferreira injured and midfielder Ricardo Fernandes playing on the right-wing.

Stoch created the next chance for himself, nutmegging Jlloyd Samuel and cutting in but shooting straight at goalkeeper Olejnik.

Villa made some good midfield moves, but despite having Luke Moore and Patrick Berger up front couldn't penetrate.

Instead, it was Chelsea who took the lead after 21 minutes. Tejera curled in an innocuous free-kick from a fairly central position, and the Villa defence stood transfixed as it drifted to the far post where Ben Sahar reacted first to poach his third reserve team goal.

Samuel didn't last much longer, and Stoch took advantage of his absence to burst after a free ball having challenged well, cut inside Hogg and hit a cross-shot which flashed past the far post with Sahar and Fernandes just unable to turn it in.

As half-time approached Berger found space, and the Hungarian Zoltan Stieber caused problems, but captain Ma Kalambay's only save was a brave deflection at feet as a ball deflected across his six yard box.

Chelsea not only had a 17-year-old and 18-year-old at centre-back, but the right-back was converted striker Shaun Cummings. It was an impressive first-half all round.

Villa changed their team round at half-time, putting Herd to right-back against Stoch and moving Hogg into midfield, and brining on two substitutes. Berger was one of the players withdrawn, probably a fitness decision rather than a tactical one.

Sahar scored the second seven minutes into the second-half. It was a wonderful goal.

Tejera with his back to goal back-heeled a looped pass to Sahar who turned his marker and burst between two defenders before forcing the ball past the advancing keeper. Considering one of the defenders was Laursen, admittedly returning from injury, this was no mean effort.

njured Elmer, the recipient of a poor foul challenge which received no booking, was immediately replaced at left-back by Bridcutt.

Sahar completed his hat-trick just before the hour when O'Halloran passed back to his goalkeeper in a tight space with amazing disregard, and Sahar blocked the clearance for the ball to rebound in.

For the last 15 minutes Sawyer replaced the impressive Stoch, went into a three-man midfield, and Tejera went out to the left-wing.


The referee had let an awful lot go, but a late, aggressive foul on Woods earned Lowry a booking.

In the final two minutes Tejera nutmegged advancing keeper Olejnik but was at a wide angle and hit a square shot across goal.

Aston Villa (4-4-2) Olejnik; Samuel (Hogg 23), Laursen, O'Halloran, Lowry; Albrighton (Bellon h-t), Osbourne, Herd, Stieber; Moore, Berger (Mikaelsson h-t).
Booked Lowry (82)

Chelsea (4-2-1-3) Ma Kalambay (c); Cummings, Worley, Hutchinson, Elmer (Bridcutt 53); Woods, Younghusband; Tejera; Fernandes (Ofori-Twumasi 82), Sahar, Stoch (Sawyer 77).
Scorer Sahar (21, 52, 59).

Hatrick from Sahar, great debut for Sergio Tejera it sounds. I thought we had no chance and won three nill.

[Sven]

Ben Sahar 2nd goal sounds amazing, should be on youtube soon.

Tejera sounds good, I know had a great left foot, shame about the injury lay off.

Lol great result for reserves, told you the youthful spirit would pull through, tbh I'm surprised Tejera hadnt been given a chance before, he'd been so good for the youth team. All this and without Scott Sinclair... I never get bored of watching that goal

[Sven]

he has 3 goals in 10 youth games Tejera, but was out injured for 2 1/2 months, was only sarted training during xmas , when there was no res/youth games. Good to see him back now.
