Matt Miazga makes Chelsea bow with youth team

Matt Miazga finally made his Chelsea debut Friday, albeit for the club's under-21 outfit.

The 20-year-old United States international moved to London from the New York Red Bulls in January amid much fanfare. He's struggled to usurp right-back Branislav Ivanovic and Gary Cahill in the centre of defence, however, despite injuries to John Terry and Kurt Zouma.

Picked alongside Dion Conroy and Jake Clarke-Salter in a back three (a preferred system of Antonio Conte, who is expected to take the Blues' helm in the summer), they struggled to stave off the threat of promising Leicester City youngster Joe Dodoo, who scored on 20 minutes.

Adi Viveash's defence stood firm for the rest of proceedings though, and headers from Clarke-Salter and Reece Mitchell gifted the young Chelsea side a 2-1 win over the Foxes.
