Out of the youth cup.
It was a disappointing night for Liverpool U18s after they crashed out of the FA Youth Cup losing 3-1 to Swansea City on Tuesday night.
Mike Marsh's charges were boosted by the inclusion of Raheem Sterling and Brad Smith in their starting line-up, but they were second best to Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.
Two goals in two first half minutes put the Swans in control. Scott Tancock, from a free header, nodded the home side into the lead after 37 minutes and James Loveridge soon made it 2-0 with a spectacular finish.
Liverpool were then dealt a killer blow just after the restart with a bizarre goal that will in the future be a prime candidate for 'What Happened Next?' Joe Rafferty's attempted clearance from the left wing struck the boot of Jandir Zola and the ball ended up looping over Tyrell Belford and into the net.
Lewis Hatch scored a superb header right at the end to give the Reds some consolation but it was a night of frustration for the Reds youngsters.
Liverpool team: Belford, Hatch, Smith, Rafferty (Wilson), Regan, Aylmer (Quirk), Sterling, Pelosi, Morgan, Sumner (Gainford), Lussey. Unused subs: Baio, Wearing.
