UNDER-23S: UNITED 0 CHELSEA 4
Premier League 2 | Leigh Sports Village | Scorers: Castillo 10, Hazard 49, James 60, St Clair 78
Juan Castillo, Kylian Hazard, Reece James and Harvey St Clair all got on the scoresheet as clinical Chelsea defeated Manchester United 4-0 at Leigh Sports Village.
Conversely, United started positively with Joshua Bohui firing well off target from Matthew Olosunde's inviting pass into the box and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson forcing Jamie Cumming to tip over a shot on the turn. However, from one of their first genuine attacks, the Londoners took the lead through Castillo.
The Dutch import ran from his own half, shrugged off Ethan Hamilton and kept going through the heart of the defence, before planting a deflected finish past Kieran O'Hara. Reds keeper O'Hara helped another deflected effort, this time by James, wide and Daishawn Redan touched a fine James centre just the wrong side of the post as the Blues threatened to double their lead.
Ricky Sbragia's side regained a foothold in the game and Hamilton worked Cumming after some powerful play before the visiting keeper made a superb save at his near post to thwart Tahith Chong. Borthwick-Jackson met Angel Gomes's corner but was unable to head goalwards and another dangerous set-piece, by Chong, was nodded over his own bar by Josh Grant.
Chong fed Olosunde, who got a shot in that was scrambled away by Cumming and the keeper held a low long-ranger by Zak Dearnley as Chelsea retained the lead until half-time. That advantage was soon extended when United were carved open by St Clair's charge down the left and the cross fell to Hazard, who controlled it in an instant and slammed home with his left foot.
Luke McCormick was fortunate not to concede a penalty for a blatant barge on Chong and DJ Buffonge was introduced in place of Gomes, who had earlier taken a blow to the head. Things got worse for the Reds with McCormick's run shepherding the ball on to James, who blasted in number three with an hour gone.
O'Hara managed to keep out a McCormick drive as the Blues looked to inflict further punishment. Devonte Redmond did have a shot blocked by the outstanding James, after Cumming pushed out a Buffonge cross, but the hosts were unable to make too much headway.
Indeed, Grant exploited more space down the Chelsea left to play the ball into the box and, even though McCormick could not bring it under proper control, St Clair lashed in a fourth. James almost added a fifth in stoppage time as it was a night to forget for the Reds.
United: O'Hara; Riley, R. Williams, Borthwick-Jackson (Warren 43), Olosunde; Redmond, Hamilton; Chong, Gomes (Buffonge 59), Dearnley (Boonen 66); Bohui.
