Not only did the Premier League season kick off this weekend, the Premier League 2 season kicked off as well.
This competition, which was previously an U23 competition, is now an U21 competition, and Chelsea of course, only just managed to stay in the league avoiding relegation last season.
Sources: 9 attackers on Chelsea’s shortlist to replace Timo Werner!
Their new campaign kicked off with a lot more optimism under Mark Robinson as the new development squad head coach, and things got off to a flying start.
The Blues absolutely smashed Wolves 7-1 on Monday night, with two goals each coming from captain Harvey Vale, Dion Rankine, and Jayden Wareham.
Defender Alfie Gilchrist was also on the scoresheet following an excellent free kick routine.
Lewis Hall, Mason Burstow, Omari Hutchinson, Charlier Webster, Xavier Simons, Xavier Mbuyamba, and Bashir Humphreys all started as well, while new signing Eddie Beach kept goal.
Let’s hope the lads can keep this very impressive start going into the season!
