U23s match report: Blackburn 2-2 Liverpool
Second-half equalisers from Ben Woodburn and Leighton Clarkson saw Liverpool U23s share the spoils with Blackburn Rovers in a hard-fought 2-2 draw at Leyland on Monday evening.
Woodburn cancelled out a first-half opener from the hosts early in the second period before Clarkson fired home with just four minutes left to earn the young Reds a deserved point from the Premier League 2 contest.
It was the home side who started the game brighter with Liam Hughes much the busier goalkeeper early on.
Clarkson was caught in possession near his own box and Hughes produced a fine save to prevent the opener, gathering the ball off a touch from his own midfielder.
