John McMahon hailed his players after the Reserves beat Hull City 1-0 on Tuesday night and claimed it was their best display of the season.
Jordy Brouwer's stunning 25-yard strike gave the Reds all three points as they battled in difficult conditions at North Ferriby United FC.
The win meant the unbeaten run now stretches to 14 games, including 13 wins and five straight clean sheets kept in the process.
Two of Rodolfo Borrell's Under-18 Academy squad John Flanagan and Alex Cooper made their Reserve team debuts in the full-back areas and both gave outstanding displays.
"It was a tremendous performance and I'm really pleased with the boys," McMahon told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"For me that was our best performance of the season. Ayala and Palsson were terrific at the back aided by good performances from the two Academy lads making their debuts.
"John made some really good tackles and I thought his decision making was excellent.
"Alex is not a regular in the Under-18s side and that was his first game for several months but he did ever so well. He is an intelligent lad with a fantastic attitude and he works really hard in training. He and John did a fantastic job for the team."
Reflecting on Brouwer's memorable strike, McMahon joked: "It was a good mis-kick! He usually puts them over the bar. I'm sure he will be down my ear now talking about that goal."
Francisco Duran made his first start, playing for just over an hour after spending over 15 months on the sidelines as he recovered from three cruciate knee ligament operations.
"You wouldn't have thought Francis had been out for so long with that display," he added.
"He was comfortable in possession. He was clever with his passing and his movement and always made himself available. We are delighted to see him back."
