U18s match report: Blackburn 0-3 Liverpool
Layton Stewart’s second hat-trick of the season earned Liverpool U18s a 3-0 win at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
The young Reds had to be patient as they dominated the ball amid torrential rain at Rovers’ Academy, with Stewart eventually breaking the deadlock shortly before the break.
The Scouse striker, who also netted three against Stoke City a fortnight ago, then won and converted penalty early the second half and duly completed his treble via an impressive finish with 66 minutes gone.
Victory means Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s side bounced back strongly from last week’s defeat to Manchester City and have six points from three U18 Premier League North outings so far in 2020-21.
