U18s report: Liverpool 7-1 Arsenal
Liverpool U18 crestOur FA Youth Cup journey concluded with a defeat at the hands of Liverpool on a difficult evening in the North West.
The hosts seized control within the first ten minutes when Lewis Koumas netted from close range, set up by Jayden Danns. However, we swiftly responded as Ethan Nwaneri curled a brilliant equaliser into the bottom corner, marking his sixth goal in just two FA Youth Cup games.
The goal injected energy into our play, and we came close on two occasions. Initially, Nwaneri's shot from inside the area deflected just wide of the post. Then, Chido Obi-Martin hit the bar with a close-range header after Komel Misciur an initial save.
