Cambridge United have shocked Chelsea to bundle them out of the FA Youth Cup.
It was a scrappy game and Chelsea struggled to maintain sustained pressure against a calm Cambridge side.
There were big chances for Leo Castledine, Tudor Mendel-Idowu and Donnell McNeilly, however Chelsea could not find the goals needed to come from behind.
A towering header from Cambridge captain Jaydyn Lott midway through the first half was enough to see Chelsea bow out of the competition.
