Liverpool Under-21s were left cursing a controversial red card as they fell to a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in their first PL2 game since the World Cup break.
With first team manager Jurgen Klopp watching on at the Academy, the young Reds named a strong side featuring the likes of Curtis Jones and Calvin Ramsay. But Liverpool ultimately faced an uphill battle after the Scotland international was sent off midway through the half, with Jamie Donley opening the scoring just before the break.
The Reds would twice be denied by the woodwork following the break, only for a late Malachi Fagan-Walcott header to clinch victory for the visitors despite Liverpool’s best efforts.
