According to well informed Twitter account Chelsea Youth and Football.London's Chelsea correspondent Oliver Harbord, Chelsea legends Petr Cech, Claude Makelele, Paulo Ferreira, Carlo Cudicini and Ashley Cole were among the spectators that watched today's clash at Cobham Training Centre.
Hugo Gonzalez opened the scoring in the ninth minute but Valencia's lead lasted only four minutes as Anjorin restored parity from the penalty spot after a defender handled a pass from the Nigerian.
However, the Spanish side were back in front again through Koba Koindredi on 23 minutes only for Anjorin to equalise for Chelsea with another well-taken spot kick nine minutes before half-time.

An 84th minute strike from Koindredi, his second of the game, made sure of a point for Valencia.

Meanwhile, Ola Aina's brother Jordan was omitted from Chelsea's match day 18.
