Chelsea defender Bruma happy to end FA Youth Cup drought

Chelsea youngster Jeffrey Bruma was thrilled to win the FA Youth Cup this week.

The young Dutchman was part of the Chelsea team that ended a drought that ran to 1961 for the young Blues.

"We started very well but they scored and then we dropped a little bit but in the second half everyone stayed focused and we just kept playing," Bruma told chelseafc.com.

"We had loads of chances before we found the goal so everyone felt as though the goal was going to come. Everyone had that hope and belief and we went on to score two goals altogether. It was brilliant.

"We've won the Cup and it feels great! In 2008 we were in the final, we never won it, but in 2010 we have won it at the Bridge, it's very exciting."
