Lewtas on 'excellent' derby display, Van den Berg, Koumetio and more

Barry Lewtas couldn’t fault the effort and performance of his team after Liverpool U23s played out a 1-1 draw with Everton in Premier League 2.

Tyler Morton’s fantastic equaliser cancelled out an early strike from Rhys Hughes in Monday's mini-derby at Southport FC.

The young Reds had chances to win as Fidel O’Rourke saw an effort cleared off the line and Elijah Dixon-Bonner fired inches wide from the edge of the area with the last kick of the game.

At the other end, Brazilian goalkeeper Marcelo Pitaluga also impressed with a couple of outstanding saves.

Read on for Lewtas' reflections on the draw…

On Liverpool's performance…

I thought we were very good and were unfortunate not to win it with the chance for Elijah with the last kick of the game.
