Chelsea beat Porto to reach UEFA Youth League final

Chelsea reach the final of the UEFA Youth League courtesy of a dramatic penalty shootout success over Porto in their semi-final tie in Nyon.

Chelsea have recorded a penalty-shootout victory over Porto to reach the final of the UEFA Youth League.

The Blues had come through through knockout fixtures with Feyenoord and Real Madrid to reach the last four of the competition, while Porto got the better of Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-finals.

The Portuguese team appeared to be on their way to the final when Diogo Queiros and Joao Mario netted goals to overturn Chelsea's opening strike, which was scored by Daishawn Redan.

Josh Grant equalised for the Blues with four minutes remaining to take the tie into a shootout, but Porto had a chance to prevail after Charlie Brown and Reece James had missed their efforts from 12 yards.

Goalkeeper Jamie Cumming was the hero, however, as he made a total of three saves to give the Under-19 squad at the West London outfit a place in Sunday's final.

Manchester City and Barcelona will contest the second semi-final later on Friday.
