The 19-year-old had an outstanding game and created the equaliser which was brilliantly finished by Cameron Brannagan.
Also playing the full 90 minutes were Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ovie Ejaria and Ben Woodburn.
Having already recorded two victories over Ipswich Tow and Huddersfield Town in the Premier League Cup, the Reds strengthened their position in their group and now have seven points.
Despite trailing to a superb 24th minute looping header from Andre Wright, the young Reds showed great character and belief and were so unfortunate not to claim the full victory such was their dominance in the second half.
