Match report: Late Bearne winner sees LFC U23s beat Spartans

Jack Bearne grabbed a late winner as Liverpool U23s lifted the Ronnie Swan trophy in Edinburgh after a 1-0 win over The Spartans FC.

The 17-year-old made the most of a defensive lapse to turn home the winner just seven minutes from time in a well contested pre-season game which marked the 10th anniversary of the Spartan’s community arm.

With many members of the U23s' squad heading to the USA with Jürgen Klopp’s first team on Tuesday, it was a young side which took the field in front of a fine crowd of more than 1,500 supporters.
