UNDER-18s REACH CUP FINAL

Our Under-18s will face Manchester City in the U18 Premier League Cup final after defeating Crystal Palace 5-0 at Carrington on Saturday morning.

A second-half Ethan Wheatley double was complemented by Finley McAllister’s opener, Harry Amass’s deflected effort and Gabriele Biancheri bundling in from close range. You can watch the highlights below.

Adam Lawrence’s young Reds managed 4-1 and 5-1 victories over Reading and Southampton respectively in the group stages, but were beaten 1-0 by Wolves. They then triumphed 4-2 over Arsenal after extra-time in a hard-fought quarter-final before Saturday’s match against Palace.
