Liverpool U18s registered a fourth successive win in pre-season with an impressive 4-1 defeat of Manchester United on Saturday.
An end-to-end opening 45 minutes at the Academy concluded with Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s side two goals to the good.
They had taken an early lead through Oakley Cannonier, whose calm control and finish into the bottom left corner came after strong play down the right by Isaac Mabaya.
An entertaining contest included subsequent chances for both teams and one particularly crucial intervention from Lee Jonas to deny United an equaliser at the last moment.
Jonas then proved influential in the other direction, setting up the Reds’ second.
