Stamford Bridge was my port of call last night as I went to watch the conclusion of the FA Youth Cup 2014. Fulham lead 3-2 from the first leg so it was nicely poised going into the game. Tube engineering works meant I ended up going to the game in my friends car so made it a lot easier and also managed to gain a free corporate ticket for the match so that was a touch as well!!!! Fantastic food before the game accompanied by a nice pint of Singha (bought two but only paid for one!!!) and then to our seats, and what a view it was!!! Anyway to the game and Fulham grabbed an early lead when Moussa Dembele headed home but Chelsea levelled from the spot on 21 minutes from Charlie Colkett and then took the lead two minutes later when Jordan Houghton struck home. It was 2-2 on 26 minutes when Patrick Roberts finished with aplomb and then eight minutes before the break Fulham re took the lead when Soloman Sambou struck a long range effort in. It was a breathless first 45 and possibly one of the best half's of football ever seen!!! Fulham had chances to settle the tie before Chelsea grabbed a third goal to make it 3-3 when sub Isak Ssewankambo struck home and then on 83 minutes they levelled the tie on aggregate when Dominic Solanke glanced a header past keeper Rodak. Fulham almost scored themselves three minutes before the end before in a dramatic finish Solanke struck home two minutes into stoppage time to seal the cup for the Blues. It was an incredible comeback in an incredible game, a fantastic source of entertainment and a great way to finish the bank holiday weekend!!!
