Liverpool's Under-18 side have thrashed Manchester United 5-0, with a hat-trick for Oakley Cannonier, the ballboy involved in one of the greatest Reds goals ever.

Liverpool trounced their rivals in the first game of the Under-18 Premier League North season at United's training ground, Carrington, on Saturday.

Cannonier opened the scoring and visiting captain Luca Stephenson doubled the lead after half an hour. The Leeds-born forward then scored two in quick succession in the second half to complete his treble, with Terence Miles rounding the game off.
