A goalkeeping masterclass from Luke Hewitson wasn’t enough to earn Liverpool a share of the spoils as the young Reds suffered a narrow Merseyside derby defeat to Everton at Finch Farm.
Goals from Martin Sherif and Coby Ebere were the difference as the Blues took advantage of Liverpool defensive errors to clinch victory. But in truth, it could have been a lot more were it not for Hewitson in the Reds net.
Kyle Kelly would score a late consolation for Liverpool, while Francis Gyimah was denied by the post and Terence Miles had a header cleared off the line, but they were rare chances as Everton ran out deserved 2-1 winners.
