Anjorin Outshines Okocha As Chelsea U18s Hammer West Ham; Aina Not In Squad
Published: October 20, 2018
England U18 star of Nigerian descent, Faustino Anjorin, took his tally for the season to five goals in the league alone as Chelsea U18s hammered West Ham 5-0 on game week eight in the U18 Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The box-to-box midfielder started for the young Blues, central defender Joshua Okocha was named in West Ham's starting line-up and Jordan Aina was not in the 16-man squad.
Anjorin bundled home from close range to open the scoring in the 13th minute after goalkeeper Joseph Anang saved Wakely's effort.
Henry Lawrence doubled the advantage before Marcel Lewis and Thierno Ballo (2) struck to help Chelsea to a comprehensive win.
Despite being a midfielder, Anjorin has been very dangerous in attack this season for England U18s and Chelsea and was on target for the Young Lions in their recent 4-0 win against Sweden.
While he was substituted after 56 minutes, Okocha played the full game for the young Hammers.
