Liverpool U18s came from a goal behind to snatch a late 2-1 victory over Stoke City in their U18 Premier League encounter on Saturday morning.
The young Reds trailed just one minute into the game but held firm to level before the break, through Layton Stewart’s cool finish, and then grabbed three points when substitute Conor Bradley headed in four minutes from time.
Barry Lewtas’ side therefore maintained their pursuit of league leaders Manchester City, who they continue to trail by five points having played one match fewer.
Liverpool endured the worst possible start as the hosts took the lead after only 61 seconds.
