Match report: Everton 1-1 Liverpool U23s
Liverpool U23s played out an entertaining 1-1 draw with Everton in Premier League 2 on Monday evening.
The young Reds went a goal down extremely early in the contest after Rhys Hughes' opener at Southport FC's Haig Avenue.
But they drew level in the 35th minute through a brilliant finish from Tyler Morton and then had opportunities to claim all the three points.
Everton were reduced to 10 men late on but Barry Lewtas' side were unable to capitalise on the advantage and find a winner.
In wet conditions, the Reds fell behind within a minute of the referee's whistle. An Everton move down the left resulted in Hughes side-footing into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area.
