A goal from Layton Stewart proved to be the crucial one in nine as Liverpool Under-21s secured their first win of pres-eason with an enthralling 5-4 victory against Leeds United on Saturday at the Kirby Academy.
Mateo Fernandez gave Leeds an early lead before they were quickly pegged back by Mateusz Musialowski, who pounced after Oakley Cannonier's initial attempt from Fidel O’Rourke's cross was blocked.
The goal put Liverpool on the front foot, but it was the visitors who re-took the lead on 25 minutes, as Sean McGurk stung the Reds at the end of a swift counter-attack.
