Published: October 06, 2018National champions Chelsea are third in the U18 Premier League standings with 16 points following their 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove at American Express Elite Football Performance Centre (Lancing, West Sussex) on Saturday afternoon.

The game was deadlocked until the 76th minute when Anjorin gave the visitors the lead with a brilliant strike from 25 yards out.
An England U18 international, Anjorin has scored some eye-catching goals for club and country this season, and has drawn comparisons with ex-Manchester City star Yaya Toure due to his box-to-box attributes.
His strike today against Brighton & Hove was his sixth goal for The Blues and the Young Lions this season.
The Seagulls first-year scholar Tanimowo featured on the pitch for the full 90 minutes.
