Ugbo, Tariq Uwakwe Sparkle As Defending Champs Chelsea Thrash Sheffield Wednesday

FA Youth Cup defending champions Chelsea advanced to the quarterfinals of the competition following their 4-0 rout of Sheffield Wednesday at Aldershot on Wednesday evening.

Two players of Nigerian descent in the shape of England youth-teamers Ike Ugbo and Tariq Uwakwe helped the Blues secure a routine win over the opponents.

With half time approaching, striker Ugbo powerfully headed home a cross to give Chelsea a two-goal advantage.

It was his third goal in the FA Youth Cup this season following his brace in the third round win over Cardiff City.

Chelsea made their first change in the 71st minute when Tariq Uwakwe was introduced, while Ugbo subbed out with 15 minutes left on the clock.
