Match report: U23s play out 1-1 draw with Brighton in PL2

Liverpool U23s came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw in a well-contested Premier League 2 clash with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon.

Both goals came in the first half at the Kirkby Academy and though both sides had chances to win it, a draw was probably a fair result.

Barry Lewtas made three changes from the team which won the mini-derby against Everton on Monday night, with Marcelo Pitaluga taking over in goal while Jack Bearne and James Norris came into midfield.

The young Reds dominated the ball in the early stages but it was Brighton who worked a goalkeeper first after a quarter of an hour.
