Sheyi Ojo on the mark as U23s win Nike Academy friendly
The former MK Dons youngster was a lively presence down the flanks and played for 64 minutes, while Joe Gomez and Kevin Stewart both went the full distance for Mike Garrity’s side.
Also on the mark for the young Reds were Toni Gomes who netted a double strike and Stewart.
Garrity’s charges made a bright start to the proceedings with Corey Whelan and Harry Wilson forming a good partnership down the right flank.
On nine minutes a superb cross from Whelan found Ojo who saw his header deflected just over the bar, while two minutes later the right-back set up Wilson who was denied by an excellent point-blank save at close range.
