Liverpool U18s boss Marc Bridge-Wilkinson saw an extra glint in the eyes of his players as they enjoyed a memorable Tuesday night.
After the young Reds had beaten Burnley 4-1 in Kirkby, they sat down to watch the remainder of the first-team clash with AFC Ajax at Anfield.
Bridge-Wilkinson and his squad witnessed the impact of a host of Academy graduates, who helped Jürgen Klopp’s side reach the Champions League last 16.
Curtis Jones netted the only goal of the game following a pinpoint cross from Neco Williams, and Caoimhin Kelleher produced a series of saves to preserve a clean sheet.
