Manchester City Under 18 skipper Tosin Adarabioyo has proven not to be a sore loser and has lauded Chelsea for winning the FA Youth Cup for the second year in a row on Monday night.
The England youth international was one of the five Nigerian-born players that were
handed starting spots along with teammate Kelechi Iheanacho and Chelsea trio Dominic Solanke, Ola Aina and Fikayo Tomori.
''Massive congratulations to Chelsea. They have very good players, performed well and scored the goals so well done to them,'' Tosin Adarabioyo told the official website of Manchester City.
Having said that, the Anglo-Nigerian has praised his teammates for not throwing in the towel despite losing the first leg 3-1.
Nigeria youth international Kelechi Iheanacho had given The Citizens hope of a comeback at Stamford Bridge with a fifth minute goal, only for Brown and Abraham to score for the champions in the 20th and 46th minute respectively.
''The boys worked hard from minute 1 to minute 90 so I am really proud of all the boys today.
We have all experienced how far we can get in this competition and so next year we want to go one step further which is winning it,'' the 17-year-old added.
Apart from Kelechi Iheanacho, who was subbed off in the 71st minute, the remaining players of Nigerian descent played the full 90 minutes.
