Ipswich scored the first goal of the second-half, Borini then scored his second to make it 5-1, Borini continued on and got his hat-trick to make it six, then Ipswich pulled another goal back to make it 6-2 then from another penalty which saw an Ipswich youngster sent off, Conor Clifford got his second which made the score 7-2.

Academy coach Paul Clement said, "After last week against Bristol we weren't best pleased and it was very important to make amends. We started excellently and we could have had more from a really good attacking performance, The second goal was superb as anyone who catches it on Chelsea TV will see.

"We are disappointed with the two goals conceded because we know in a tighter game, those mistakes could be crucial but special mentions go to Fabio for his hat trick and a really pleasing display from Conor.

"It was a good team performance with lots of contributions from all over the field and Jan Sebek also made two very good saves in the second-half."
