Great stuff from the lads, completely deserved and once again showed City how it's done.

I was concerned about how this might go but the lads reminded me that I am one of the most pessimistic Chelsea fans going. I sometimes forget that when I read the doom laden, and aggressively hate filled thoughts of some TC members. I needn't have worried however. They fully and comfortably deserved their win. Well played boys.

Congratulations too to Joe Edwards. When Dermot Drummy was moved out of the dug out and into a liaison role, I had the strong feeling that he was being moved sideways. With Joe however I genuinely think his impending change is all about his personal development. Sounds a good plan to me.

Good luck to Jody when he takes over. I was never his biggest fan as a player, never a fan of any size if I'm honest, but I really like his demeanour around the place since his return. I'm very impressed by his thinking on the game as evidenced in his CTV appearances. He has a clarity and an honesty in the way he appraises performances and situations. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does when he takes charge of the 18s.

While I'm at it, good luck too to Dermot at Crawley Town.

We won the southern section but the play-off section is ongoing. Looks like City are going to win that. If we'd hang on to our 3-1 half time lead in the fixture up there, we'd have been in better shape but having lost that game, we trail them by two points and they have a game in hand.

It's over now. The draw earned against Liverpool by our much changed line up last night, coupled with a win for City, leaves us 4 points behind them with only one game to play. City, who have two games remaining, technically need another point to secure the title ahead of Everton. At best however, The Toffees can only match City's points total and their goal difference is 10 goals worse.

Under-18s report: Chelsea 13 Brighton 0

Charlie Brown bagged four despite only coming off the bench for the final half-hour, while Martell Taylor-Crossdale and Luke McCormick netted hat-tricks of their own. Conor Gallagher had opened the scoring after 15 minutes, while Cole Dasilva and Harvey St Clair also found the back of the net on an incredible morning for our youngsters.
