Liverpool Youngsters On Course For Youth Cup Final After Victory

Liverpool Youth team virtually secured their place in a third FA Youth Cup final in the past four years with a superb 3-0 victory over Birmingham City at St Andrews last night.

Hugh McAuley’s side will hope to complete the job in the second leg of the semi-final at Anfield next Friday night to book a place in the two-legged final against either Arsenal or Manchester City.

While McAuley was delighted with the win, he said: “I am very pleased with the result. I thought in the first 45 minutes we created chances, scored good goals and there was a lot of good football.

“But I was a little disappointed in the second half. I felt we didn’t pass the ball well enough and our all-round game wasn’t good enough. But it is only half-time and there is another game at Anfield next week.”
