Key Events

  • 1pm kick-off

2-0! A weekend of Whites goals

24: Reds keeper Pittaluga. Rushes out to try and sweep up a long ball, handles the ball outside of his box to the left, just, but only a yellow card

23: By Carole, direct, cuts in from the right, low shot saved but the Leeds attempts are racking up

21: Joseph into the box, high ball, keeper Pittaluga comes charging out and just manages to save Joseph’s attempt at a flicked finish

18: From Gyabi from the edge of the box, over the bar. After more good pressing from McGurk and Joseph.

Seven youth internationals

In the Leeds team, a strong outfit.

Neat defensive work

14: From Mullen with a calm header back to Christy as Liverpool go long.

A noticeable change

11: In Mateo Joseph who has really filled out. Looks powerful.

10: Carole drive from the right saved after good work from Bate.

Joseph upfront and already looking a handful, McGurk just behind him. Allen wide left. Carole wide right. Bate and Gyabi in centre mid. Hjelde left back. Mullen and Monteiro the centre backs. Moore, captain, at right back. Liverpool yet to threaten.
