text: Izzy Brown has spoken of the incredible weekend that saw him inspire Chelsea's youth team to glory in the UEFA Youth League either side of a call-up to Jose Mourinho's first-team squad. The Blues' under 19 captain played the full 90 minutes of Chelsea's 4-0 semi-final win over Roma in Switzerland on Friday afternoon after learning that Mourinho wanted him on the bench for the Premier League clash at Queens Park Rangers on Sunday. So Brown flew back to London, watched from the Loftus Road dug-out as a late goal from Cesc Fabregas took Chelsea a step closer to the title, and then hopped back on a plane to Geneva. Izzy Brown has spoken of the incredible weekend after Chelsea won the UEFA Youth League on Monday . Brown was on the bench for Chelsea seniors for the Premier League clash at Queens Park Rangers on Sunday . But just a few hours later he was out in Nyon scoring twice and captaining his side in becoming champions . And clearly untroubled by the 'commuting', the 18-year-old scored twice in the 3-2 final win over Shakhtar Donetsk as Chelsea became the first English team to lift the Youth League trophy. After the triumph in Nyon, Brown told Sportsmail: 'I got a phone call at lunchtime (on Friday) and I was told I had to come back to England because the first team needed me on the bench. 'So I was a bit shocked because I wanted to play the final and I didn't know whether I'd get back or not. It's been a bit of a rush but I'm glad I was here and also glad I was on the bench.' Brown's close-range finish gave Chelsea a seventh-minute lead against Shakhtar in the final. Although the Ukrainians were gifted an equaliser when defender Andreas Christensen put through his own net, Chelsea took command after the break. Dominic Solanke (left) and Brown got the goals as Chelsea saw off Shakhtar Donetsk to take the trophy . First, Dominic Solanke headed in a Jeremie Boga cross to restore their lead and then Brown made sure of victory with a well-taken left-foot finish a few minutes later. Brown then had the honour of lifting the Lennart Johansson trophy as Chelsea followed in the footsteps of Barcelona last year. He added: 'It is an amazing achievement, we've come so far since the first game against Schalke. 'There's been lots of ups and downs through the tournament but we've stuck together and now we're European champions. We've got so many creative players, so many people who can score goals.' Brown had the honour of lifting the Lennart Johansson trophy as Chelsea followed in Barcelona's footsteps . Solanke ended the competition as leading scorer, with his 47th-minute header taking his tally to 12, and was understandably delighted. He said: 'It's a great tournament, i managed to do quite well. I finished as top goalscorer, which is an amazing achievement for me. 'Obviously playing against all these different teams in Europe, I've got to adapt to how they play and I think I'm scoring a lot of goals in that way and it's really good to do that.' Solanke ended the competition as leading scorer, with his 47th-minute header taking his tally to 12 . The England under 18 international was handed a taste of first-team action by Mourinho in October's Champions League tie with Maribor and he is hopeful of further opportunities in the future. 'It's a tough task at Chelsea to get into the first team but you've just got to keep working and see what happens,' he said.
