Liverpool U18s put in a convincing display on Saturday afternoon to beat Derby County 3-1 away from home in the Premier League North.
Goals from James Norris, Harvey Blair and Isaac Mabaya helped the young Reds end 2020 in the best way possible.*
Norris opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 25 minutes before the hosts equalised through Bartosz Cybulski on the stroke of half-time.*
But Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's team quickly regained the lead early in the second half with Blair's finish as Mabaya then made sure of the win with his 54th-minute strike.*
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com post-match, Bridge-Wilkinson said: "It was a nice way to end the year with a hard-fought win, I would say.*
"The pitch was very lively and slippy with a strong wind. It was a different type of performance but I was pleased with the way the boys dug out the win.”
Liverpool U18s: Pitaluga, Wilson (Ennis, 83), Norris, Quansah, Koumetio, Miles, Mabaya, Corness, Blair (Hayes-Green, 75), Woltman, Musialowski (McConnell, 77).
