Chelsea U18s were thrashed 7-1 at home by Fulham on Saturday.

Fulham took the lead as a harmless corner was met by Harrison Murray-Campbell and his header deflected into Luke Campbell's goal off the back of Brodi Hughes.

It quickly became 2-0 as a loose ball was pounced on by Tom Olyott. Campbell made the initial save but could do nothing to stop Aaron Loupalo-Bi from side-footing into the net.

The lead was extended by the Cottagers as Ollie Gofford lashed the ball past Campbell through the congested penalty area.

Then a quick counter ended with Loupalo-Bi getting his brace. Soon after, four became five as Callum Osmand peeled round the back post to finish well from an Olyott cross.

The second period had an immediate goal as Osmand made it six, finishing off a fast counter-attack, before another unfortunate own goal saw a pass back to second-half substitute Ted Curd mis-controlled as the ball rolled into the net to cap a miserable morning for our youngsters.

A Chelsea consolation from Donnell McNeilly could do little to soften the blow.
