Conor Clifford was delighted to lift the FA Youth Cup with Chelsea this week.

Chelsea collected their first trophy of the season on Tuesday night when they won the Youth Cup for the first time since 1961.

Dermot Drummy's side took the trophy with a hard-earned victory over Aston Villa, which saw the side come back from a one-goal deficit.

It set a target for the senior side to replicate on Saturday 15 May in the FA Cup final against Portsmouth at Wembley.

A second-half comeback saw Marko Mitrovic and captain Conor Clifford both get on the scoresheet as Chelsea ran out 3-2 aggregate winners.

"It is a dream come true," said Clifford. "I am delighted. We had personal goals at the beginning of the season and I said mine was to lift the Youth Cup as captain, and I have done it now. It hasn't sunk in yet, it is brilliant.

"We always looked the stronger team but just couldn't take our chances.

"It was just a case of keep going and going and waiting for the weak link of their team to make a mistake and it paid off, we got back into it with a great goal from Marko and a good goal to win it for us.

"But we were piling on the pressure and seeing their faces, they were getting nervous and were asking the ref how long was left and that was giving us more incentive to keep going at them."
