Chelsea Under-18s beat Man Utd

George McEachran scored an injury-time winner and Conor Gallagher netted twice from the penalty spot as Chelsea’s Under-18s beat Manchester United 4-3.

Juan Castillo also scored for the young Blues in an entertaining game at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground, where United took an early lead. [phone][/phone]

After Ethan Hamilton’s deflected strike found the net, Martell Taylor-Crossdale hit the bar before Castillo curled in the equaliser.

The hosts led at half-time courtesy of Gallagher’s first penalty, which was converted following a foul on Taylor-Crossdale by keeper Theo Richardson.

Richardson atoned with saves to deny Taylor-Crossdale and Callum Hudson-Odoi before Joshua Bohui equalised for United early in the second half.

Gallagher restored the lead with his second spot-kick, this time after McEachran was fouled, but Nishan Burkart brought United level again.

McEachran had the final word, slotting home after being set up by Castillo.
