Fikayo Tomori Strikes As Chelsea Win UEFA Youth League

Published: April 18, 2016

The Chelsea U19s have won the UEFA Youth League for the second year running after beating Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 in the showpiece game staged at Centre sportif de Colovray (Nyon), Switzerland on Monday.

Canada U20 international Fikayo Tomori and England youth-teamer Ola Aina were both included in manager Viveash’s starting XI and both defenders lasted the distance against the French team.

Tomori put the defending champions ahead in the tenth minute, scoring his fifth goal of the season off a rebound after Clarke-Salter ’s header was blocked.

Two minutes later, he gave away a penalty for a foul on Nkunku but the Chelsea goalkeeper, Collins, saved from Augustin.

PSG restored parity in the 58th minute through Meite before Palmer scored what turned out to be the game-winner three minutes later.
