Chelsea U23 coach Andy Myers has praised his players for their commitment in 2020.

After the 6-1 thumping of Manchester United in December, their development squad end the year in pole position in Premier League 2.

"We always have objectives to try and get players to train with the first team and be involved with them," Myers told chelseafc.com.

"It's been difficult to fulfil that this year with the pandemic but I think the opportunities we've had have been taken and the first team have welcomed that. To go one better than just training with the first team, we've also had a player make a full debut in Tino Anjorin, which is much deserved for his hard work this season.

"Our targets aren't all about winning leagues, which is nice, but with the young group we have I think they've really done well in competing this term. We've played some really good stuff in the EFL Trophy games but we were a little naive when it came to conceding. Overall, it's been pleasing to watch and the rest will come as they get older and wiser, with more experience and exposure to men's football."
