Musonda nets as Chelsea youngsters hammer Celtic

Captain Charly Musonda was on target as Chelsea’s Under-21 thrashed their Celtic counterparts 5-0 in the Premier League International Cup.

The Blues scored twice in the first five minutes and by midway through the first half were 4-0 up.

Mukhtar Ali scored the opening goal from a cross by Kevin Wright, who then doubled the lead shortly afterwards after Kasey Palmer’s shot had been saved.[phone][/phone]

Ali set up Musonda for Chelsea’s third goal on 15 minutes and the home side continued their dominance when Palmer curled home a free-kick.

Celtic keeper Leonardo Fasan also made two good saves from Palmer during the first half to keep the score down.

Charlie Colkett, who was sent-off late in the game for two bookable offences, was also denied by Fasan after the break but Chelsea added a fifth in injury time as substitute Reece Mitchell scored a penalty.
