Under-21 international: Liverpool teenager Doak scores as Scotland defeat NI in Belfast

Liverpool teenager Ben Doak scored on his Scotland U21 debut as they beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in a Belfast friendly on Thursday

Sixteen-year-old Doak, who joined the Anfield club from Celtic in July, provided a composed finish after bursting clear to make it 2-0.

Kieron Bowie headed the Scots in front and Josh Mulligan netted from a rebound for the third.

Chris McKee pulled back back with his first goal for the NI U21s.

Northern Ireland enjoyed plenty of possession but Scotland were the more clinical side at Blanchflower Stadium.

Dale Taylor wasted a good chance for the hosts as the Nottingham Forest striker lifted the ball over keeper Cieran Slicker but his goalbound shot was blocked by an alert Conor McAvoy.
