Liverpool U18s moved back to the top of the Premier League North table after a comfortable 4-1 home victory over Burnley at Kirkby.
First-half goals from Oakley Cannonier and Billy Koumetio, plus an early second-half strike from Mateusz Musialowski and a late clincher from Ethan Ennis, sealed the victory for Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s side.
It sets up a mouth-watering clash with their fellow table-toppers Manchester United at Carrington on Saturday morning.
The first chance of the game arrived courtesy of Musialowski cutting in from the left, but a curling effort with his right foot was too close to the goalkeeper to cause serious problems.
