Chelsea set up UYL Real Madrid clash after thumping Feyenoord

Chelsea were comfortable winners in their UEFA Youth League last 16 clash with Feyenoord.

Chelsea shared seven goals with Feyenoord in a thrilling contest but ultimately ran out comfortable victors in the UEFA Youth League as they booked a trip to Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

Ethan Ampadu headed Chelsea into an early lead before further first-half goals from Daishawn Redan and an own goal were sandwiched either side of a strike back from Achraf El Bouchataoui to make it 3-1 at half-time.

Another own goal nine minutes after the restart sucked the fight out of Feyenoord and Harvey St Clair added a fifth with a smart finish before Noah Lewis pulled one back late on. The victory sends Chelsea into the last-eight and a visit to the Spanish capital next month.
