Chelsea 3-2 Shakhtar Donetsk: Blues Under-19s crowned European champions

Chelsea Under-19s were crown European champions after defeating Shakhtar Donestk in the Uefa Youth League final in Nyon on Monday.

Izzy Brown gave the English outfit the lead after just seven minutes, latching onto a cut-back from the tournament's leading scorer Dominic Solanke to tuck home from 12 yards.

Shakhtar levelled matters as the first half drew to a close when Andreas Christensen failed to control a Denys Arendaruk cross and the ball rolled into his own net.

Chelsea, though, picked up again in the second half and Solanke got a goal of his own with a towering header from Jeremie Boga's cross just two minutes after the restart.

Brown added his second and Chelsea's third just eight minutes later with a cool finish from the edge of the area as Shakhtar, who were unbeaten in the competition's nine games heading into the tie, collapsed.

It was a confident performance from Chelsea, who dominated proceedings before Viktor Kovalenko netted a stoppage-time consolation, and become the second team to win the tournament after Barcelona last year.
