Chelsea reach FA Youth Cup final in spectacular fashion

Chelsea have reached the FA Youth Cup final in spectacular fashion.

Holders Chelsea fought back from 2-0 down from the first-leg to win the semifinal against Tottenham 5-4 on aggregate.

Chelsea's task became much tougher when Shayon Harrison fired Tottenham into the lead after half an hour, however the Blues responded through Dominic Solanke and Izzy Brown to take a lead on the night into the break.

A good restart proved decisive as goals from Solanke and Charlie Colkett inside the opening eight minutes turned the tie around. Colkett added a fifth from the penalty spot before Spurs netted a spot-kick of their own in the final minutes to set up a nervy finale. However, the holders came through the late test and will now face either Manchester City or Leicester City in another Youth Cup final.
