Chelsea coach Ed Brands was delighted with his players after their stunning 4-3 FA Youth Cup win against Liverpool on Saturday.

Chelsea were trailing 3-0 with 20 minutes left on the clock on Merseyside, but managed to storm back and win the tie.

"It was an unbelievable feeling," Brands told the club's website. "I've never experienced a feeling like that in football.

"It's all about getting through to the next round and at 3-0 down after 70 minutes, we never lost faith. From there, our ability and quality shone through.

"Charlie's (Webster) goal was pivotal to setting us off and we could sense the momentum shifting in our favour then. We knew we were capable of getting the win with hard work and quality. Liverpool are an excellent academy and team so we did incredibly well to win it in the 90 minutes.

"This is a squad effort and now we look forward to the last eight at Stamford Bridge."

That tie will be played against either Newcastle United or Blackpool before 26 February.
