Liverpool FC Youth Teams

Harry Wilson makes everything seem too easy.

He just seemed to glide in, didn't he? But at pace.

[Venton]

Wilson shows us he is human after trebucheting his free kick into the empty stand.

[Venton]

Jorden Williams evens up some of the dirty Sunderland clogging by sliding through their number 11. I'd like to say it looked worse than it was but it was just about spot on.

[Venton]

Half time. I think we deserve to be 1-0 up on balance. Not by much, but just. It was a great goal and is the difference between the sides.

[Venton]

Couple of things about that goal. O'Hanlon hit it first time with the outside of his left foot to curl it into Wilson's path. After Wilson feints to come inside, he burst around the outside of the defender and his first touch is to bring him across the path of the defender who either has to leave him or bring him down. Super stuff.

[Venton]

Scrappy start to the second half. Platini looks very ginger after being clattered. McLaughlin walks off with an undisclosed injury, Stewart on. He walked off ok though so hopefully nothing too bad.

[Venton]

Honeybun (or Platini as I call him) sits disconsolately on the grass and is hauled off with an injury. Rees Greenwood replaces him - he's the first player I've seen in a while with a haircut that looks like it cost less than £100. Considerably less actually.

Ibe's is just a small basin cut.....

O'Hanlon again pumps one up to Wilson who is just offside.

Chris Kirkland is the one you want for home cut hair. Kids everywhere live in terror of that time where their mums fancy their hand with a pair of scissors.

Greenwood drives one over our bar - close too.

Williams and Robson go in together and it looked horrible. Robson (Sunderland) looked to have gone in high but just pulled back in time. If he hadn't then I think Williams would have stamped on him. I would have. Williams goes down after a bit and gets treatment.

[Venton]

Greenwood again causes havoc in our defence but is finally blocked off. Wilson is a clattering-magnet today. I suspect this superpower will follow him throughout his career.

[Venton]

O'Hanlon feeds Sinclair down the right who delays the cross before finally hoofing it from one end of the pitch to the other. Nice pass from O'Hanlon to release Sinclair though.
