Chelsea U18 coach Edwards proud of his FA Youth Cup winners

Chelsea U18 coach Joe Edwards is proud of his players after they won the FA Youth Cup last night.

The trophy was retained as the club won a fourth final in six seasons last night with a 5-2 aggregate victory over Manchester City.

Edwards told chelseafc.com: "I'm delighted and extremely proud of the players.

"It was always going to be a high-level game between Chelsea and Man City, the two best teams in academy football, and while the first-leg result was good it did almost tee City up to come at us and attack from the start. They got the first goal on the night but we had a strong, quick reaction and then managed the game in the second half. It was a mature, professional performance."
