Report: Elijah Dixon-Bonner scores twice as U23s draw at Blackburn

Elijah Dixon-Bonner scored twice as Liverpool U23s drew 2-2 away at Blackburn Rovers in Premier League 2 on Monday night.

The No.8 opened the scoring in the Leyland contest after 10 minutes before he doubled the lead close to half-time with a superb curling strike into the top corner.

But Blackburn staged a second-half fightback with a pair of goals from Jacob Davenport, the last of which was from the penalty spot in the 86th minute.

A strong start from the visitors resulted in an early opener.

A high press from Jarell Quansah won possession back and allowed Max Woltman to carry possession into the penalty area.
