Late pain for Under-21s on Merseyside

There was late disappointment for our Under-21s as they fell 4-2 to Liverpool in the final few minutes of our Premier League 2 encounter on Sunday afternoon.

Having taken the lead at Liverpool's Academy early on through James Wilson, the Reds had turned the game on its head by the hour mark with goals either side of half-time - Kieran Morrison levelling on 25 minutes before Prince Cisse headed them in front on 57 minutes.

We responded well though and were level within four minutes of going behind as Reiss Russell-Denny struck in a very competitive fixture.

However, there was to be heartbreak late on as, despite our valiant efforts, Liverpool scored twice in the final few minutes of the game to take all three points. Firstly, Will Wright reasserted their lead with four minutes to play before Morrison wrapped up the win with a further effort in added time.
