Nigerian Wonderkid & New Chelsea Poster Boy Picks Up 25th Goal Of The Season

Nigerian wonderkid Ike Ugbo was on target again for Chelsea on Friday night but could not prevent the U23 squad from losing 2-1 to Derby County in their final game of the season.

In the game held at iPro Stadium, the Rams had taken the lead after 29 minutes, only for the new Chelsea Academy poster boy to equalize seven minutes later.

The England youth international was teed up by Kyle Scott before finishing confidently past goalkeeper Mitchell.

Ugbo has been a clinical goalscorer for Chelsea youth teams this season, with his strike against Derby County his 25th goal of the season in all competitions.

The 18-year-old netted 10 goals en route to Chelsea winning their fourth successive FA Youth Cup.
