Wednesday, 12th May 2021 20:10
Town’s FA Youth Cup run came to an end at the semi-final stage as Liverpool came from behind to beat the Blues’ U18s 2-1 at Portman Road. Town deservedly went ahead in first-half injury time when Edwin Agbaje headed home, but the visitors were on top for most of the second half and were seen into the final via goals from Mateusz Musialowski and Melkamu Frauendorf.
After both sides and the officials had taken a knee in support of Black Lives Matter, the game got under way with the early stages evenly balanced.

Fraser Alexander admits it is “the stuff of dreams” as he prepares to lead the Town U18 side against their Liverpool counterparts in tomorrow’s FA Youth Cup semi-final at Portman Road.
The game, which kicks off at 6pm and is being covered live by BT Sport, is the young Blues’ reward for eliminating Southend, Chelmsford, Fulham, Swindon, Middlesbrough and, most recently, Sheffield United to earn a place in the last four of the country’s most prestigious youth tournament.
Alexander has been at the club for a decade, since he accepted an invitation to join the academy when he was eight, and recalled: “I came in when I was really young and I have photos of the various squads all the way through from the U7s to the U18s. So it’s a huge honour to captain this team, especially with what we’ve achieved and the performances we’ve put in.
