Barry Lewtas admitted he has spoken to his players after Liverpool's U19s were embroiled in a mass brawl immediately after their UEFA Youth League penalty shootout victory over FC Porto.
Forward Lewis Koumas was the only Liverpool player to be shown a red card after the final whistle, while the Portuguese outfit saw both Goncalo Ribeiro and Umaro Cande dismissed for their roles in the altercation.
With a place in the quarter-finals at stake for the winner, after goals from Jorge Meireles and Melkamu Frauendorf saw the sides level after 90 minutes, tensions soared during the shootout as players from both sides look to gain a psychological advantage over one another through a series of interactions. In particular, for rounds six and seven as the contest entered sudden death.
