Chelsea already have one hand on the FA Youth Cup after winning the first-leg of the final 4-0 against Blackburn Rovers.

Islam Feruz showed he has the knack of being in the right place at the right time as his two second-half strikes gave Chelsea a huge safety margin for the second leg at Ewood Park on May 9.

They were two up in half an hour as captain Nathaniel Chalobah glanced in a header from Amin Affane's cross, then midfielder Lewis Baker bent in a brilliant shot from 20 yards.

Midfielder Lucas Piazon was the architect of both goals in the second period, twice playing precision passes that opened up Blackburn's defence to give Feruz easy chances.
