Onyango likely being out for the season after Iversen last week also opens up opportunities for these lads with the u23s for rest of the season

Absolutely unbelievable strike!! Stunning win from the young lads and no reason to believe they can’t go on and win this now
A great win,thoroughly deserved after an excellent team performance.I thought Leban,Warrington and Whittaker did really well and the defence was very very solid.
Well that was one of the most controlled, disciplined performance I’ve seen from our youngsters for a while. While Leban kept us in the game at time I thought Reece Welch was superb in organising such a young back four, taking on Delap at corners and putting himself in there when he needed to. Lots of good performances out there today though.
What - a home tie for Chelsea - well I never..

Welch worried me late when he would not let go of one of the City players arms, i was waiting for the city player to go down for a pen

Luke Butterfield struck a brilliant 98th-minute winner as Everton knocked Manchester City out of the FA Youth Cup on an afternoon of high drama.
The substitute – who was introduced 12 minutes from time after Tyler Onyango was stretchered off – drilled an effort into the bottom corner deep into stoppage time to spark wild celebrations at City’s Academy stadium.
The goal was just reward for a spirited and determined effort from the young Blues, who progress to face Chelsea in the fifth round.
City had the first chance of the afternoon when McAtee dragged a shot fractions wide from the edge of the area.
Everton’s first meaningful effort on goal came just moments later when Issac Price’s floated cross was met by Tyler Onyango – the midfielder directed his header on target but City keeper Mikki van Sas made a regulation save.
City were enjoying the lion’s share of possession, however, and Zan-Luk Leban was forced into action when Oscar Bobb worked space for a shot on the right channel – the Slovenian made a fine one-handed stop.
McAtee threatened again soon after when he burst onto Liam Delap’s through pass. Leban was alert and raced off his line to close the angle and make the save.
Everton looked a danger on the counter and almost broke the deadlock minutes before half-time. Skilful forward Charlie Whitaker carried the ball forward at speed before sending a well-struck effort just wide of the post from 20 yards.
City threatened 10 minutes after the half-time interval when defender Callum Doyle’s long-range effort was athletically tipped over the bar by Leban.
The home side had the ball in the net from the resulting corner but Liam Delap was adjudged to have used his hand before slotting past the Everton goalkeeper, and the strike was chalked off.
City were beginning to exert consistent pressure at this point and Leban made another important intervention when he kept out McAtee’s strike from inside the area.
Everton saw appeals for a penalty waved away just after the hour-mark when Tom Cannon went over in the area.
Back came City and Leban made a fine double save from Alex Robertson and Samuel Edozie.
The Toffees were then indebted to centre-back Eli Campbell, who did superbly to block Liam Delap’s close-range effort.
Everton were dealt a significant blow 12 minutes from time when the influential Onyango was forced off. Onyango was dribbling forward at speed when he was caught by Alex Robertson – after a lengthy break in play while the Everton man received treatment, the midfielder was taken off on a stretcher.
The extended hiatus caused by Onyango’s injury meant seven minutes of added time.
All of those seven minutes had elapsed when Butterfield took aim from 20 yards.
He caught hold of his strike perfectly, his powerful effort finding the bottom corner and leaving City stopper van Sas grasping at thin air.

It's a massive win that one. City and Chelsea are the best 2 teams by far at youth level, so to go to their back garden and win is a massive statement, and in it's own way as back a statement as winning the thing. (If you won it, but didn't defeat either Chelsea, or certainly City I wouldn't say it was as big an achievement).
They have 5 England under 18's players in their team, plus high quality foreign lads. They have been hammering teams for between 4 to 7 in recent weeks. 6 of that team turned up to Liverpool for an under 23's game against a ful strength and much oder Liverpool team and stuck 7 past them (think Delap got a hat trick).
That we have gone to their ground and got a win, indicates that this age group has the potential to be quite a special one for us. The two below is are even stronger. So a great day allround. Brilliant to see Campbell, who is a very young under 17 play so well too.

that Garcia looks like he could be a baller in the future
While Chelsea overall have probably been the best u18 over the past 8-10 years they don’t appear to be doing that well this season. It’s always hard to tell who is playing up in the U23s though.
Onyango injury is untimely. Was hoping we might get to see a first team cameo from him before the season ends. Any news on the injury?
