Young Reds Lose At Blackburn

Liverpool's U18s went down to a 3-2 defeat at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday afternoon.

The young Reds led at the interval thanks to a strike from Adam Morgan and could have been two ahead had Raheem Sterling's earlier effort not been ruled out for offside.

But the home side hit back after the break with an equalising goal from Jamie MacLaren and then took the lead from the penalty spot after a hotly disputed handball decision.

Things got worse for Rodolfo Borrell's men when Matthew Regan was sent off for the Reds, before MacLaren netted again to give Blackburn a two-goal cushion.

Adam Morgan netted his and Liverpool's second late on, but it wasn't enough to salvage anything from the match - and to compound the Reds' misery Craig Roddan was shown a red card after the final whistle.
