Chelsea’s Academy Player of the Year Dominic Solanke scored his 42nd goal of the season as Jose Mourinho’s side huffed and puffed to a 1-0 victory against the Thailand All-Stars.
The 17-year-old striker showed his finishing prowess once again with a brilliant first-time volley from a Loic Remy flick as the Blues youngster made the most of his time to shine in Bangkok.
Jose Mourinho opted to field two completely different sides for each half as Chelsea starlets Ola Aina, Charlie Colkett, Jake Clarke-Salter were amongst the starting cast given a chance to impress.

MATC FACTS
Chelsea: Cech (Blackman 46 off for Beeney 81), Aina (Azpilicueta 46), Ivanovic (Terry 46), Clarke-Salter (Christensen 46), Ake (Dasilva 46), Mikel (Matic 46), Colkett (Houghton 46), Remy (Musonda 46), Boga (Loftus-Cheek 46), Brown (Hazard 46), Solanke (Costa 46 off for Solanke 81)
Goal: Solanke 13
And the Blues started brightly with young forward Izzy Brown looking the most likely to make something happen as he pressed the Thailand defence.
It didn’t take long for Brown’s academy team-mate Solanke to find the net after a fine run and cross from Aina was helped on by Remy, leaving the young forward to do the rest with his right foot.
