Liverpool Under-23s strolled to a comfortable 3-1 victory over Manchester United in their final game of the Premier League 2 Division 1 season.
The young Reds dominated for the majority against the Red Devils at the LFC Academy and took an early lead through Shola Shoretire’s own goal. Alejandro Garnacho would equalise for United, but it would be a rare opening for the visitors as goals either side of the break from Rhys Williams and Jack Bearne clinched the win.
Liverpool were in control for most of the first half and took an early lead inside the opening five minutes following great pressing from Layton Stewart. As Shoretire passed the ball back to the under-presser Vitek, the goalkeeper missed his kick and looked back in horror to see the ball roll under his foot and in the back of the net, in off the post.
