Jerome Sinclair notched the crucial strike as Liverpool U18s returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Leicester City on Saturday.

Neil Critchley's youngsters turned in an impressive display against the Foxes and registered an advantage midway through the opening period.

Sheyi Ojo watched a shot hit the post but the forward was alert in reclaiming possession and squaring across goal for Pedro Chirivella to convert.

It was a lead that the travellers took into half-time, although the home side levelled proceedings shortly after the action resumed.

The young Reds were not to be denied, however, and after being introduced as a substitute at the break, Sinclair grabbed the winning effort.

U18s team: Firth, Waldron, Hart, Cleary, Brewitt, Burke, Chirivella, O'Hanlon, Kent (Sinclair), Ojo, Canos (Virtue).
