Wow, what a scoreline. Apparently Chelsea rested a lot of players having only played in the FA youth cup a couple of days before, but still.

That impressive 7-2 away win against Chelsea means that Spurs U18s finish on top of the South Group with another two home matches left to play (Southampton on 3rd May & Aston Villa on 6th May).

If I understand the play-offs correctly, Spurs are at home to Everton in the first Semi-Final with West Ham away to Emirates Marketing Project in the other Semi-Final.
 
U18s Chelsea 2-7 Tottenham Hotspur

John McDermott spoke of his pride after our Academy players won the Barclays Under-18 Premier League southern division - but stressed his priority remains the development of our young players on a long-term basis.

Our Under-18s clinched top spot in the domestic standings with two games to spare on Tuesday by inflicting a 7-2 defeat on a young Chelsea side at Cobham – booking a date with Everton in the end-of-season play-offs.

Academy Manager John, while impressed with the lads’ campaign, reinforced how his over-riding philosophy of bringing young players through the ranks remains at the forefront of his mind in the wake of the triumph.

“The boys have now won the league which I’m extremely pleased about, but it’s always been about developing players at this level and that hasn’t changed,” John said.

“We mustn’t lose focus on our overall goal which is to ensure the continued development of our young players beyond youth football.”

John also preferred to look at Tuesday’s victory at Chelsea in isolation to the rest of the campaign: “It’s quite a peculiar feeling because our opponents obviously had to play in the FA Youth Cup final less than 24 hours before playing us, so it was frustrating but understandable we couldn’t play their top eleven and really test our players to the pinnacle,” he said.

“But in the grand scheme of things, while perhaps one of our best and most testing fixtures hasn’t panned out as both teams would have wanted because of fixture congestion, we are where we are based on our results over the entire season and now we must continue to push on.”

Josh Onomah bagged a brace on Tuesday while Lloyd Ross was also on the scoresheet, but it was a four-goal showing from Shayon Harrison that left our Academy boss particularly pleased.

The forward converted from a variety of different positions in and around the Blues’ penalty box – and John revealed that clinical performance was as a result of much hard work on the training ground.

“Both Shayon and Will Miller, who didn’t play on Tuesday, have been working so hard on their finishing and being more efficient in front of goal in terms of their shooting accuracy – and with that will come goals,” John explained.

“I was really pleased for Shayon on Tuesday. His goals were the result of a lot of labour and a lot of focus and attention in training and hopefully he can keep that going.”

U18s at home to Southampton this weekend

Southampton are the visitors as our Under-18s return to action on Saturday.

John McDermott’s side clinched top spot in the Barclays Under-18 Premier League southern division with two games to spare after defeating Chelsea at Cobham on Tuesday.

The lads now face two home games in four days ahead of the end-of-season play-offs, the Saints first up this weekend.

We beat Southampton 2-0 at their Staplewood facility back in August, and Academy Manager John will be looking for another positive performance as we renew acquaintances with them at our Training Centre on Saturday at 12pm.

We then host Aston Villa on Tuesday, kick-off now 5pm.
 
Spurs 2-2 Saints U18s - report from the Training Centre

Will Miller’s stoppage time strike sealed a point for our Under-18s in a dramatic end to Saturday’s clash with Southampton.

Anthony Georgiou brought us back on level terms six minutes from time when he cancelled out a first half opener from the Saints’ Marcus Barnes.

The visitors had other ideas, though, as Jake Hesketh crashed home a low shot three minutes later.

But with time running out, Miller – who had missed a penalty in the first half – popped up in the area to force the ball home and ensure the match ended 2-2.

Having already secured top spot in the Barclays Under-18 Premier League southern division, we looked to take control of the game from an early stage with Channing Campbell-Young drifting a shot into the arms of goalkeeper Chris Johns and Daniel Akindayini forcing the visiting stopper to palm the ball out three minutes later, with Emmanuel Sonupe off-target from the rebound.

Goalkeeper Harry Voss made a fine save low to his right to keep out a fierce header from Kyle Clinton, but he couldn’t prevent Southampton from taking a 12th minute lead. Ryan Seager ferried the ball out to Barnes to the left-of-centre, who fired low into the net from 18 yards out.

Southampton looked more threatening as the first half went on, Seager clipping the crossbar with a right-footed free-kick and Hesketh testing Voss with a rising shot.

Three minutes before the break we got the chance to restore parity when Miller fed Daniel Akindayini, who was bundled over in the box by Clinton. Miller took the penalty, but Johns saved low to his left to ensure the Saints went in at the break a goal to the good.

Sonupe scooped a loose ball over the bar from close range after good build-up play by Akindayini as we sought a leveller four minutes into the second period, the wide player also seeing a left-footed effort blocked by a defender after cutting in from the right.

Just beyond the hour mark, the lively Anthony Georgiou tricked his way into the box on the left, his attempted cross being deflected into the path of fellow substitute Ryan Loft – but the young forward could only hook the ball the wrong side of the woodwork as it came to him at an awkward angle.

Voss saved with his legs from Seager at the edge of his area and Hesketh’s shot was easy for the stopper as the Saints tried to extend their lead.

Loft only partially met Sonupe’s cross at the other end, while Miller’s free-kick was comfortably caught by Johns.

We finally made a breakthrough six minutes from time when Johns palmed Sonupe’s right-sided cross back into the danger zone, with Georgiou there to tuck home the rebound.

But any idea that the equaliser would be the last of the goalmouth action was quickly nullified when Hesketh collected a loose ball in midfield and crashed a low shot into the bottom corner of our net from 25 yards with 87 minutes on the watch.

And there was still more drama to unfold as Miller netted in the third minute of stoppage time to salvage a point. Johns got his hands to Miller’s shot from Sonupe’s deflected cross, but he was unable to keep it out as we once again hauled ourselves back level.

Voss, Campbell-Young, Muscatt, Amos, Maghoma, Carter-Vickers, Sonupe, Stylianides (Owens 62), Akindayini (Loft 56), Miller, Daly (Georgiou 56)
