Young Reds Win Again

Goals from James Ellison, Lauri Dalla Valle and Marvin Pourie gave Liverpool Under-18s a 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday.

Hughie McAuley's side have now won four out of their opening five Academy games, scoring 12 goals in the process.

Highlight of the game was a brilliant effort from substitute Marvin Pourie who finished off a fine individual run with a shot into the top corner of the net.

"We controlled the game from start to finish and plyed some nice attacking football," McAuley told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"We scored three excellent goals. Ellison got the first after good play from Adam Pepper and Nathan Eccleston. Dalla Valle then made it 2-0 with a great finish after a great run from Nathan.

"Marvin came off the bench to score a great goal and we could have added to our tally in the end.

"We had Christopher Buchtmann back after his hamstring problems and he did very well when he came on in the second half at left back."

Liverpool Under-18s team: Martin Hansen, Michael Scott, Alex Cooper (Christopher Buchtmann 60), Andre Wisdom, Joe Kennedy, Astrit Ajdarevic, James Ellison (Marvin Pourie 75), Adam Pepper, Lauri Dalla Valle, Nathan Eccleston, Alex Kacaniklic (David Amoo 70). Unused subs: Jack Metcalf, Deale Chamberlain.
