Brighton U18 0-2 Fulham U18

Fulham Under-18s recorded back-to-back victories with a 2-0 win at Brighton.

A couple of early goals had us in a strong position at the break, as Seth Chingwaro opened his Fulham account, before Logan Cooke nodded home from a corner eight minutes later.

Chingwaro broke the deadlock after just seven minutes, prodding the ball home at the back post after Macaulay Zepa’s whipped, deep corner was flicked on by a Brighton defender into the former Man City man’s path.

A flying Finley Taylor stopped Jayden Quashie from doubling our lead, as his powerful shot from 25 yards looked destined to nestle into the top corner.

But the second goal did arrive just seconds later as Quashie’s delivery from the resulting corner was met by a leaping Logan Cooke, who nodded an effort past Taylor.

The margin could have been even greater at half-time, but Alfie White blazed over from the edge of the area, and Zepa curled an effort beyond the far post.

It took until the 36^th minute for Dino Kaiser to be called into action, and the goalkeeper was quickly off his line to deny Theo Outen from an acute angle.

Zac Brennan’s long-range fizzler also had Kaiser worried, but the shot took a deflection on its way through to see it wide.

Substitute Zebedee Lawson sparked the hosts into life in the second period, rifling a shot into the side netting before testing Kaiser with a left-footed long-ranger.

With and without the ball, Ali Melloul’s side managed the second-half professionally, and in truth, the two-goal advantage never looked in too much danger.

Our U18s are next in action at Motspur Park on Saturday 3^rd May against Arsenal, 11am kick-off.
