Liverpool U18s produced a powerful display to record a 6-0 victory over Reading in the Premier League Cup group-stage encounter at the Academy on Saturday.
The Reds dominated the first half for long periods and went close on several occasions but had to wait until the 38th minute when Paul Glatzel finally fired them in front.
Barry Lewtas’ side cranked up the pressure after the break and carved out several opportunities to extend their advantage.
They finally did so just after the hour when Glatzel slipped home his second of the afternoon with a neat finish when one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
