Joe Gomez stars as returning defender plays full 90 minutes for Liverpool Under 23s in Derby stalemate

Joe Gomez continued on his path to full recovery with a standout display as Liverpool Under 23s drew 0-0 with Derby at Pride Park.

The defender completed a second 90 minutes in the space of five days having returned to action against Burnley's youngsters last week.
