Danny Ings pushed his case for a first-team recall with a hat trick for Liverpool's under-23 side on Sunday afternoon.
Ings, 24, made it seven goals in four appearances for the U23s this season when he netted three times against Ipswich Town in the Premier League Cup.
He opened the scoring with just three minutes on the clock before securing the match ball when he fired in two late goals in a 3-0 win.
The former Burnley frontman has only played once for the first team this campaign as he faces stiff striking competition at Anfield.
