Match report: Five-star U23s secure impressive win at Brighton

Neil Critchley’s side were 4-0 up for the majority of the game at the AMEX Elite Performance Centre with Curtis Jones (2), Harvey Elliott, Isaac Christie-Davies and Luis Longstaff all on the mark.

The young Reds made the perfect start when they were awarded a penalty after seven minutes.

A superb run down the right flank by Elliott saw him brought down by Peter Gwargis.

The No.7 duly picked himself up to confidently place the ball beyond the reach of Thomas McGill from the resulting spot-kick.

Elliott came so close to doubling the advantage four minutes later.
