Five-star Reds Rout Rovers

Liverpool U18s produced an outstanding second-half performance as they overwhelmed Blackburn Rovers by a 5-1 scoreline on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds went into the match on the back of an eight match winning run but were stunned on 35 minutes when the visitors opened the scoring with a well-worked set piece.

The hosts responded in the right manner and pulled level just before the interval when Adam Morgan drilled a low shot into the bottom corner.

It had proved to be a difficult first 45 for the home side but whatever Rodolfo Borrell said during the half-time team talk seemed to work wonders as they powered into an unassailable lead following the restart courtesy of Raheem Sterling and another clinical strike from the in-form Morgan.

Conor Coady then crashed home the fourth from the penalty spot before Krisztian Adorjan sealed the victory with a classy finish as the Reds warmed up for next Sunday's FA Youth Cup clash with Manchester United in style.
