Match report: Jones shines as U23s draw with Derby

Liverpool U23s played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Derby County in Premier League 2 at the Academy on Saturday afternoon.

Elijah Dixon-Bonner, an own goal and Curtis Jones were on the mark for the Reds while Ben Winterbottom also saved a penalty.

Rhian Brewster departed the field early as a precaution due to Divock Origi picking up an injury earlier on in the day for the first-team.

With Dutch duo Ki-Jana Hoever and Sepp Van den Berg pairing up at centre-back once again, Neil Critchley’s side started brightly and took an early lead.
