Calum Scanlon claimed two remarkable assists to ensure Liverpool under-18s ended their Premier League North campaign in emphatic fashion as they defeated Newcastle United 3-1 on Saturday afternoon.
Scanlon, a full-back signed from Championship outfit Birmingham City for £500,000 in 2021, helped the young Reds race into an early lead with less than 60 seconds on the clock at Kirkby when he concluded a powerful run down the left flank by crossing the ball for James McConnell to head home against his boyhood club.
Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's side doubled their advantage over the Magpies just five minutes later when Scanlon turned provider once more - this time with a lofted, perfectly-weighted pass from inside his own half for Lewis Koumas to finish calmly.
