Nigerian Midfielder On Target As Chelsea Rout West Brom 7-0 In FAYC
Defending champions Chelsea have set up a meeting with London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the fifth round of the prestigious FA Youth Cup following their 7-0 demolition of West Brom on Wednesday night.

Two England youth internationals of Nigerian parentage Faustino Anjorin and Tariq Uwakwe played a big role in Chelsea's win after they were named in the starting line-up by manager Jody Morris.

In the fourth round tie at Aldershot, Chelsea were 3-0 up at the break courtesy of goals from Guehi, Hudson-Odoi and Redan.

The Blues superior quality told more in the second half . Redan and Hudson-Odoi notched their braces before Anjorin headed home a free-kick to make it 6-0 in the 59th minute.

And the home team were celebrating again in stoppage time when Taylor-Crossdale volleyed home a cross from Castillo.

Tariq Uwakwe and Faustino Anjorin were replaced in the 67th and 74th minute respectively.
