Chelsea Under-18 coach, Jody Morris, has reflected on his side&rsquo;s 3-2 loss to Southampton in the Under-18 Premier League on Saturday, and reserved special praise for Tariq Uwakwe for his brilliant strike.<br /><br />The 16-year-old Nigerian midfielder netted his first goal for the academy team when he fire a left-footed shot into the corner of the goal, but it could not prevent the London team from suffering their first defeat of the season. <br /><br />&ldquo;Tariq scored a great goal in the first half but it was hard to enjoy that when we were playing so badly,&rdquo; Morris told Chelsea&rsquo;s official website. <br /><br />&ldquo;The second goal was a real good team move and a great goal for us to score but then we conceded twice at the end against the run of play when we were totally in control.&rdquo;<br /><br />Next up, Uwakwe and his Chelsea teammates will be in action on Friday when they host Swansea City in the league. <br /><br />Igho Kingsley <br /><br />Photo Credit : chelseafc.com <br /><br />
