23 - Goal Liverpool (2-0)

Free header for Jarell Quansah from a corner. Too easy.

Stuart Moore has looked a little nervy with the ball at his feet so far today, but he’s just made an outstanding save to turn Max Woltman’s curling effort around the post.

Owen Dale makes a driving run into the Liverpool box, pulling the ball back into the danger area only for it to deflect narrowly wide.

Pool corner.

Jack Bearne gives the home side an early lead, getting in behind Oliver Casey and slipping the ball past Stuart Moore.

Matty Virtue gets the game started against his former club.

According to the team sheet just handed to us, the trialist is midfielder Mo Sangare.

A Liberian international, Sangare is a 23-year-old who plays for Newcastle United.
