AcademyU18s match report: Liverpool beaten at Wolves in league action
Liverpool U18s were beaten 4-1 by Wolverhampton Wanderers during Saturday lunchtime’s league encounter.
Lucas Pitt was on the scoresheet for the Reds at the Sir Jack Hayward Training Ground, though the hosts secured the points with two goals in either half.
An opening effort from Dani Angel after 19 minutes was levelled by Pitt five minutes before the interval, but Wolves restored their lead in added time at the end of the opening period through Conor McLeod.
Further goals for the home team from Caden Voice and Fraser Harper late in the second half confirmed the result.
U18s boss Marc Bridge-Wilkinson told Liverpoolfc.com post-match: “It was a good game. We were quite comfortable and started well. We created some good chances and Wolves looked good on the counter, which led to their opener.
“It was a mixed team, we were quite young, but we learned an awful lot about some of the younger players in the game and that can only be a good thing.
”Despite the result we had some good performances out there and we were pleased with what we saw.”
