FA Youth Cup Wrap: Adarabioyo Helps Man City Record Win; Tomori Scores Priceless Goal For Chelsea
Published: March 18, 2016
A couple of players with Nigerian heritage were in action on Friday night in the first leg of the FA Youth Cup semi-final. Find out how they fared.
England youth-teamer Tosin Adarabioyo played the full game at the Academy Stadium as Manchester City worked hard to beat Arsenal 2-1.
Attacking midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru came on for the Citizens in the 85th minute and was yellow-carded in the closing minutes for simulation.
At Ewood Park, Fikayo Tomori’s headed goal gave Chelsea a 1-0 win against Blackburn Rovers. The defender nodded in a free-kick taken by Christie Davies in the first half.
Substitute Ike Ugbo had a good opportunity to increase the lead late on but was denied by goalkeeper Andrew Fisher.
In the second leg, Arsenal will host Manchester City at the Emirates on April 4, while fellow Londoners Chelsea will square off against Blackburn Rovers at Stamford Bridge four days later.
