Chelsea youngsters demolish Swansea, QPR thrash Ipswich

Chelsea’s Under-18s enjoyed a 5-0 win against Swansea on Friday afternoon.

All five of the goals came in the second half, two of them from England Under-17 striker Martell Taylor-Crossdale.

Harvey St Clair, Luke McCormick and recent signing Charlie Brown also scored in the game at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground.

Taylor-Crossdale’s first was a penalty and the Blues doubled their lead when St Clair finished after being teed up by Jacob Maddox.

Taylor-Crossdale made it 3-0 following good work on the left by McCormick, who then scored himself after being set up by Reece James.

Brown, signed from Ipswich this summer, netted the fifth from a cross by St Clair.

Meanwhile, Cole Kpekawa scored as QPR’s Under-23s beat Ipswich 4-1.

Dan Darbyshire, Brandon Adams and summer signing Eberechi Eze also found the net in the game at Loftus Road.
