Birthday boy Max Woltman was the matchwinner as Liverpool earned their first Premier League 2 victory of the season against Blackburn Rovers.
Woltman celebrated his 19th birthday by netting the only goal with 17 minutes remaining as the Reds' under-21 side secured a narrow 1-0 triumph at the Academy in Kirkby on Saturday afternoon.
Barry Lewtas's side - who had opened the campaign with defeat to Manchester City and a draw at Brighton and Hove Albion - dominated the game but were constantly frustrated by either a poor final pass or some inspired goalkeeping from Blackburn's Aidan Dowling.
