Liverpool U23s produced a fine display to beat Chelsea 3-1 in Premier League 2 on Saturday afternoon.
Rhys Williams' excellent week continued as he followed up his Champions League debut by opening the scoring at the Kirkby Academy with an unstoppable header.
Jake Cain then doubled the young Reds' lead with his third converted free-kick of the season before captain Liam Millar scored from the penalty spot.
Chelsea pulled one back through Bryan Fiabema from 12 yards out in the closing stages.
A strong, probing start delivered well-deserved rewards for Barry Lewtas' side.
