U18s Held By City

Liverpool U18s played out an entertaining 2-2 draw away at Manchester City on Saturday morning.

The home side took a first half lead but Rodolfo Borrell's side stormed back in the second half and took the game to their opponents.

Craig Roddan equalized with a terrific half-volley from the edge of the box, then a sweeping team move started from the back ended with Kristjan Gauti Emilsson making it 2-1.

City came back though and equalized 10 minutes from time as the game ended 2-2.

Borrell told Liverpoolfc.tv: "We had some problems to hold them in the first half but in general we played really well against a very good side.

"They were very dangerous going forward but we pressed them all over the pitch in the second half and it was a great effort from the team."

Liverpool U18s: Belford, Poor (Regan), Smith, Sama, McGiveron, Coady, Sterling, Roddan, Ngoo, Emilsson (Adorjan), Silva. Subs unused: Stephens, Aylmer, Morgan.
