Match report: Liverpool U18s win seven-goal thriller with United

Liverpool U18s produced another late goal to defeat Manchester United 4-3 in dramatic fashion at the Academy on Saturday morning.

The young Reds twice took the lead in the first half – through Matteo Ritaccio and Fidel O’Rourke – but United quickly equalised on each occasion.

Niall Brookwell thought he had provided a winner when he struck with 10 minutes to go but yet again the visitors found a rapid leveller, this time from Charlie Wellens.

Barry Lewtas’ side refused to give in, though, and Layton Stewart claimed the crucial touch when a left-wing corner ended up in the net with 88 on the clock.
