Liverpool U18s registered a fourth successive league win by defeating Newcastle United 4-1 at the Academy on Saturday afternoon.
Max Woltman put the young Reds in front midway through the first half with a nicely-taken finish and Tyler Morton then marked his 18th birthday with a similarly composed strike on 29 minutes.
Morton bagged his second and the hosts’ third early in the second period and another fine day’s work for Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s side was sealed by Layton Stewart’s excellent hit, with Lucas De Bolle’s late effort a consolation for the away team.
The prolific Stewart had two early sights of goal in Kirkby and was shut down at the last moment on both occasions, but those chances set the tone for an open, end-to-end contest.
