UEFA Youth League 2015 Results: Tuesday Scores, Standings, Updated Schedule

Tom SunderlandSep 29, 2015

England's giants endured a tough run through Tuesday's UEFA Youth League schedule, as Chelsea and Arsenal's under-19s were made to battle for their results in two high-scoring affairs.

The Blues relinquished a three-goal lead at Porto to draw 3-3 after being reduced to 10 men, while Arsenal battled back from an early scare against Olympiakos to clinch a 3-2 win and open up a cushion at the Group F summit.

The Gunners were also handed a reprieve after seeing group rivals Bayern Munich fall 2-1 at home to Dinamo Zagreb, while Barcelona were held to a 1-1 draw at home against Bayer Leverkusen.

Recap

It looked as though Chelsea were well on course to extending their Group G lead on Tuesday after Kasey Palmer, Josimar Quintero and Kyle Scott put them three goals to the good after just 26 minutes.

However, Porto attacker Ruben Macedo was a crucial component for the Dragons as they pulled two goals back before goalscorer Palmer was sent marching for a second caution, which Chelsea Youth saw as inevitable:

Unfortunately for the west Londoners, their one-man disadvantage proved to the be the icing on Porto's cake, as Macedo netted a most unlikely equaliser in the 71st minute. Neither team went on to claim three points.

The Gunners were on track for similar disappointment at home to Olympiakos, but captain Julio Pleguezuelo was on hand to net a double for the hosts, leaving Arsenal youth specialist Jeorge Bird in awe:

Arsenal found themselves a goal down after Giorgos Manthatis' seventh-minute strike, but Pleguezuelo's brace and a Ben Sheaf penalty were enough to sustain Arsenal's 100-percent start to the group stage.

And as if that comeback wasn't good enough for the north Londoners, academy manager Andries Jonker will have been overjoyed to hear of Dinamo Zagreb's 2-1 win at Bayern, although CroSports wasn't all that surprised:

It's true the result perhaps shouldn't be seen as that great a shock, considering the Croatian champions boast one of the best academies in Europe, but Bayern will be concerned as the only Group F team yet to win a Youth League game.

Elsewhere, Barcelona surrendered a late draw to Leverkusen, in which defender Eric Montes notched the opener moments after team-mate Juanma Garcia missed a spot-kick. But Paul Gemein grabbed an 89th-minute equaliser in Catalan country.

Barca's misfortune was typified by the injury-time red card shown to midfielder Oriol Busquets (no relation to Spain international Sergio), while Group E leaders Leverkusen walk away the far more pleased of the two teams.

The Catalan giants were desperate to claim their first group win after drawing 0-0 against Roma in their opener, claiming the Group E summit as a result of Tuesday's win.

That rise comes largely thanks to Roma's own stumbling at BATE Borisov earlier in the day, a missed opportunity for the Italians to make their surge up the standings.

Lyon and Gent were the other victorious parties on Tuesday, as they clinched 1-0 wins over Valencia and Zenit Saint Petersburg, respectively. Jeff Callebaut's strike was enough to book Belgian representatives Gent a valuable win in Russia, while Yoann Martelat scored in the 63rd minute to see Lyon past their Spanish guests.

Although Chelsea were disappointed to surrender a draw themselves, the Blues' Group G rivals Maccabi Tel Aviv and Dynamo Kiey also stuttered to a sharing of the spoils with a 1-1 result in Israel.
