U18s Lose To Blackburn

It was a frustrating day for Liverpool U18s as they went down 2-1 at home to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.

The away side found themselves 2-0 up with two second half goals, and despite a fine late strike from Jack Dunn, Mike Marsh's side couldn't force an equalizer.

The young Reds played some excellent football at times and created some great openings. Substitute David Moli also had a strong appeal for a penalty turned down.

It was to be a double blow for Marsh as he lost Jordan Lussey and Kristoffer Peterson who both left the field with injuries.

Marsh told Liverpoolfc.tv: "It's a tough one to swallow really as we didn't deserve to lose the game.

"We created some great chances, we could easily have had a penalty but it just wasn't our day.

"It was a shame losing Jordan and Kristoffer and we'll have to see how they are ahead of next weekend's Academy derby with Everton.

"On the plus side Jack Dunn came back from injury and scored a really good goal."
