James Balagizi scored a hat-trick as Liverpool U18s advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup with a 5-1 win away at Leicester City on Friday night.
Max Woltman also bagged a brace in the second half of the fifth-round contest to set up a home tie with Arsenal in the next stage of the prestigious competition.
Balagizi opened the scoring after six minutes in the encounter, with the Reds' lead preserved thanks to fine saves from goalkeeper Harvey Davies in each half before the flurry of goals.
Prior to kick-off there was a period of silence to remember the 96 children, women and men that lost their lives at the Hillsborough tragedy as both sets of players sported black armbands.
