Liverpool under-18s missed out on the opportunity to move fifth in the league after ending on the wrong side of a seven-goal thriller versus Derby County on Tuesday evening.
Beaten 5-2 in a thrilling contest between the two sides, Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s side had got off to a dream start after effective pressing from Lewis Koumas led to the forward punishing a defensive error.
The hosts were level shortly before the half-hour mark, however, after Cameron Ashia carried the ball forward and into the Reds’ penalty area before being brought to ground by Josh Davidson. Ashia made no mistake from the spot, getting his side back on level terms.
