Match report: U18s' winning streak ended by Derby
Liverpool U18s’ nine-match winning run ended with a 2-1 defeat to Derby County at the Academy.
Barry Lewtas’ side went into Friday’s match knowing that a 10th consecutive victory would see them overtake Everton at the top of the U18 Premier League.
Their evening did not go to plan, however, as Derby claimed the three points despite being down to 10 men for much of the second half following the dismissal of Eiran Cashin.
A slice of fortune enabled the visitors to go in front midway through the first period, when Morgan Whittaker’s low shot took a nick off Remi Savage and deceived Vitezslav Jaros.
