The England Youth team squad member started the
new season on a promising note when his team
dumped Norwich City in a four goal thriller. The
match ends 4-1.

Chelsea U18 squad now have three points with the
help of Ugbo who scored all his goals in the second
half of the high tempo match.


First goal of the game was scored at the 37th minute
by Chelsea FC’s player, Ali Suljic, meanwhile,
Ugbo, 16 year old scored his first goal and Chelsea’s
second goal of the match when the Norwich
goalkeeper carelessly released a ball he had earlier
grabbed at the 48 th minute, however, Ugbos team
mate, Christie Davies assisted his second goal which
he netted right from the corner of the box in the 59 th
minute.

He also utilized the carelessness of the Norwich side
in the 85 th minute to score his third to make a hat-
trick.


Head Coach of the team, Joe Edwards, reflected
afterwards on a pleasing start to the season.
“Norwich is always a difficult place to come and get a
result so for us to start with a win here is really
pleasing,” he told Chelsea’s official website.
“On top of the result, it was also a good performance
because often Norwich can be a difficult opponent with
the way they set up to stop us. I felt today they had
several good players in their team and it was a good,
competitive game.

“The first half was quite even but we kept working to
our game plan, which was to switch the play often and
attack them down the sides. I think the way we did that
in the first half caught up with Norwich in the second
half and we started to open them up a lot more.

“Seeing your front player get a hat-trick in the first
game is obviously a big plus and we’ve asked Ike to see
how close he can get to Tammy Abraham’s tally from
last season. However, it wasn’t just about his goals
today because he put in an incredible shift up front in
quite hot conditions and I felt that approach spread
throughout the team in the second half. We were
constantly pressing and didn’t let them get a foothold in
the game.”


Ugbo became a player of Chelsea FC at age 10, and,
so far, he has scored 11 goals in 18 games for the U18
youth team.
