Liverpool U23s v Blackpool - live updates

Key Events

  • FT: Liverpool U23s 4-1 Blackpool
  • Seasiders take on Reds in semi-final of FA Lancashire Senior Cup
  • Number of fringe players in line to gain some vital minutes

The Seasiders are knocked out of the FA Lancashire Senior Cup at the semi-final stage.

Jerry Yates with the goal, Matty Virtue with some vital minutes. Trialist Mo Sangare played the full 90.

Two minutes are to be added.

86 - Goal Liverpool (4-1)

Leighton Clarkson slots home after Stuart Moore had made a save.

Double change for Pool as Luke Mariette and Rob Apter replace Matty Virtue and Jake Daniels.

Priceless game time for Virtue, that.

Conor Bradley delivers a teasing cross from the right for Liverpool which is deflected just wide by a teammate.

Jake Beesley beats the keeper to a high ball but unfortunately his header drops wide.

58 - Goal Blackpool! (3-1)

Jerry Yates slots home from Owen Dale's left-wring cross.

That’s the word I’d use to describe the second-half so far. Very little happening at either end.

Blackpool put Liverpool under some pressure in their own box but their decision-making is frankly woeful and the hosts are able to escape unscathed.

Leighton Clarkson, formerly of Blackburn Rovers, lashed one two or three yards over from long range.
