After Saturday’s fixture postponement, the young Foxes travelled to Cobham on Tuesday, but goals from Martell Taylor-Crossdale and Charlie Brown secured a 2-0 win for the hosts.
Trevor Peake’s side delivered a spirited performance against the reigning Under-18 champions and it took the Blues until the second half to break the deadlock in Surrey.
A penalty, 16 minutes into the second period, gave Chelsea the lead as Taylor-Crossdale converted before Brown’s close-range finish 10 minutes later doubled their advantage.
