Liverpool U18s returned to winning ways in the U18 Premier League with a 3-0 defeat of Sunderland at the Academy.
Oakley Cannonier’s customary goal put the home side in front on 31 minutes and the Reds produced a late surge to secure victory in Kirkby through strikes from Melkamu Frauendorf and Harvey Blair.
The young Reds had to hold firm for spells as the visitors pressed for an equaliser and a downpour added to the challenge, but did so impressively to secure three points after previous back-to-back losses in the division.
There was an open nature to the contest from the start and after seeing off some early Sunderland pressure, Liverpool fashioned two sights of goal.
