By Liverpool FC
A minute's silence was observed ahead of kick-off at the Academy in memory of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva, with both teams wearing black armbands.
The young Reds, led by assistant manager Anthony Ryan, went 1-0 up after seven minutes through Joe Bradshaw's close-range strike, but were quickly pegged back by Max Woodcock.
Lenix Conde restored the hosts' lead early in the second period, before Lucas Clarke added their third goal with a header from a corner.
Josh Sonni-Lambie turned and finished inside the box for 4-1, and Josh Abe added his name to the scoresheet shortly after by converting from a tight angle.
The scoring was completed by Haydn Murray-Holme as the match edged towards its conclusion.
