Liverpool FC Reserves 3 - 1 Bolton Wanderers Reserves

Liverpool Reserves enjoyed a winning start to life at Prenton Park as Bolton were swept aside in the Barclays Premier Reserve League North.

Gerardo Bruna, Jordy Brouwer and Alex Kacaniklic were on target as the Reds bounced back from their defeat at Blackburn.

They took the lead after 15 minutes when Nikola Saric was tripped on the edge of the box and Bruna stepped up to slam in the free-kick.

Bolton rarely threatened but on the stroke of half-time Reds keeper Peter Gulacsi produced a stunning save to deny Javlon Campbell.

Liverpool doubled their advantage 10 minutes into the second half in bizarre fashion. Brouwer replaced Saric and within seconds of coming on he charged down Bogdan's attempted clearance and it flew in.

Bolton scored on the hour through Adam Blakeman but the Reds responded and Kacaniklic sealed the points with 10 minutes to go.

Liverpool Reserves: Gulacsi, Darby, Irwin, Ayala (Mendy 85), Mavinga, Palsson, Saric (Brouwer 54), Amoo (Kacaniklic 68), Eccleston, Pacheco, Bruna.

Unused subs: Chamberlain, Buchtmann.
