Ike Ugbo Takes Goals Tally To 24 As Chelsea U18s And Liverpool Play Out Thriller
Published: April 29, 2016
Ike Ugbo scored his 23rd and 24th goals of the season as Chelsea U18s played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the Premier Academy League on Friday night at the Recreation Ground (Aldershot, Hampshire).
The England youth international and Tariq Uwakwe made the starting XI of the Young Blues, while ex-Golden Eaglets trainee Ovie Ejaria started in midfield for the Reds.
Ugbo restored parity for Chelsea after Kane had put the visitors in front in the 14th minute, heading home a free-kick taken by Muheim.
On 73 minutes, the 17-year-old made it 2-2. He struck from the edge of the box after driving past the Liverpool defense, and came close to netting a hat-trick and the winning goal but headed over.
Before Ejaria was substituted, he had a decent opportunity to restore Liverpool’s lead but his attempted flick over the goalkeeper went narrowly wide.
Next up for Chelsea U18s is a trip to Blackburn Rovers next weekend while Liverpool have ended their season.
