Barclays U21 Premier League Chelsea Beat Manchester United 2 1 To Win Title

Chelsea had outplayed United when the two teams had met earlier in the season, but the Reds had hung on for a goalless draw. Ironically, a far better performance from the home side resulted in a less favourable result as two sides committed to attack slugged it out in a fine showcase for football at this level. United had the better of the early exchanges and, when Janko completed one of several storming runs down the right to square to Wilson in the box, it seemed the opening goal would come from a familiar source; instead, the young forward showed excellent awareness to lay the ball off for Lawrence, who curled his shot into the far corner....
