U-23s: Liverpool 4-1 Arsenal - How it happened

Despite a promising first-half performance, we were beaten 4-1 by Liverpool in the Premier League 2 on Saturday.

Ben Sheaf made his return from injury, while 17-year-olds Bukayo Saka and Tyreece John-Jules were tasked with leading the line.

It was the hosts who opened the scoring inside 10 minutes when Lazar Markovic found the back of the net from a tight angle, but their lead would last just 60 seconds.

We applied pressure on the Liverpool defence straight from kick-off - and after working the ball into their box, John-Jules fired past Kamil Grabara from close range to level the scores.
