The youth team of Premier League side Chelsea fell just short of the national title last night.

The Under-18s lost in the U18 Premier League to Manchester United to close off the season.

Despite putting in a spirited display, Chelsea were quickly behind and could never get back in the game.

One of the United goals came from their talented attacker Ethan Wheatley, Ethan Williams scored the other.

While Josh Acheampong had made it 1-1, United only took a few more minutes to get back in front.

They saw out the result and have now won two honours as an U18 team this season.
