Man Utd shock Chelsea U18 in London

Manchester United upset Chelsea U18 in their Academy game in London.

John Cofie struck with virtually the final kick of the game to take the win, capping earlier goals from Sean McGinty and Michael Keane as the Reds roared back from a two-goal deficit in typically defiant fashion.

An absorbing game ebbed and flowed from the first whistle. United missed opportunities to forge ahead through Jesse Lingard and Etzaz Hussain, and that profligacy was punished when Milan Lalkovic pipped Sam Johnstone to a loose ball and slotted home.

Having taken the lead against the run of play, Chelsea began to dominate and doubled their lead when Philipp Prosinek capped a fine passing move with an emphatic header.

But then United stormed back to stun the hosts at Cobham.
