Match report: Longstaff's late leveller gets U23s a draw at Leicester

Luis Longstaff’s stoppage-time equaliser saw Liverpool U23s claim a 2-2 draw at Leicester City on Friday night.

Two goals in the closing stages of the first half, by Admiral Muskwe and George Thomas, flipped the Premier League 2 fixture in the Foxes’ favour after Curtis Jones had put Neil Critchley’s side ahead with a fine individual effort early on.

But the young Reds spent much of the second period in the ascendancy and finally got their reward in the 95th minute, when Longstaff scrambled the ball over the line once Jones had volleyed Adam Lewis’ whipped cross back across goal.
