Neil Critchley on U23s draw, injuries and Virtue goal

Neil Critchley felt Liverpool U23s' 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion was a fair reflection of the action at the Academy on Sunday afternoon.

Matty Virtue’s long-range strike in the second half salvaged a point from the Premier League Cup tie, which could have been decided either way with a flurry of late chances at both ends.

The young Reds, who lost Liam Millar and Curtis Jones to injury by the interval, must now gain positive results against Burnley and Bournemouth next month to qualify from Group C.

On his verdict of the match…

It was quite an entertaining game, there were lots of incidents.
