Chelsea v Blackpool FA Youth Cup - live updates
Key Events
- FT: Chelsea 3-2 Blackpool
- Seasiders take on Premier League giants in quarter-final of FA Youth Cup
- Winner to face Blackburn Rovers or Nottingham Forest in the last four
- Tie kicks off at earlier time of 6pm
42 - GOAL CHELSEA (2-1)
That’s so unlucky for Alec McLachlan. He makes two super hero saves to deny Malik Mothersille, but the Chelsea man forces it over the line at the third attempt.
35 - Save
That’s a great save at his near post from Alec McLachlan to tip Charlie Webster’s low shot around the post.
34 - Booked
Tayt Trusty is booked for a handball. The midfielder looked to pick up the ball after being shoved to the ground, but the referee disagreed.
30 - Half chance
Jack Moore curls in an excellent cross from the right which Jake Daniels gets a head to, but it’s comfortably wide.
That’s better from Pool, who have been under the cosh for a while.
22 - Fortunate
Pool a bit lucky there.
Luke Mariette recovers to clear a dangerous cross from the right, but only serves to whack the ball into a teammate. It could go anywhere, but thankfully it’s behind for a corner.
19 - Even
Blackpool are still competing well here, in fact they’re still having some joy. There’s nothing to choose between the two sides, despite the apparent gulf in quality.
14 - GOAL CHELSEA (1-1)
A sublime goal out of nothing draws the home side level. Skipper Harvey Vale drops his shoulder before curling a beauty into the top corner.
