Fidel O’Rourke’s tap-in from a Layton Stewart cross that put the finishing touches on Liverpool U18s’ impressive 3-0 win over Blackburn Rovers was the perfect showcase of what this team is all about, according to boss Barry Lewtas.
Stewart, who was a double marksman, was on a hat-trick himself but unselfishly squared the ball across to his strike partner to secure the three points on Saturday.
Lewtas fielded a very young team during the U18s' first outing of 2020, with regulars Leighton Clarkson, Jake Cain, Tom Hill and James Norris moving up to U23 level.
