Matthew Willock scores as Manchester United Under-23s beat Liverpool

LIVERPOOL -- Manchester United Under-23s beat Liverpool 1-0 on Monday night in the Premier League 2 with a dramatic injury-time winner.

Matthew Willock was the hero at Anfield when he headed in a Sean Goss free kick in the dying seconds after Goss had earlier missed a penalty in the second half.

The two teams played each other just 27 hours after the senior teams squared off in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.

Liverpool's starting XI offered a slight hint to Jurgen Klopp's team selection for Wednesday's FA Cup third-round replay at Plymouth Argyle, with the likes of captain Harry Wilson, Ben Woodburn and Sheyi Ojo all absent from the matchday squad.
