A handful of Chelsea stars — old and new — were in attendance at Cobham training ground for the Development Squad's final Premier League 2 game of the season. Andy Myers' side needed a win against Tottenham to evade relegation from the under-23s top-flight, and the Blues did so in the dying embers.
As first reported by football.london, Trevoh Chalobah and Malang Sarr were named in the starting eleven in a bid to bolster the west London side's efforts. Kion Etete put the visitors ahead moments before the hour-mark, and as the tie went on, Chelsea looked destined to seal their fate.
But, all of a sudden, from the depths of despair, the Blues rose like a phoenix from the ashes and clambered ahead. Dion Rankine levelled proceedings inside the final ten minutes before Joe Haigh finally steered Myers' side to safety after bundling the ball into the net.
