U18s Exit Youth Cup as Liverpool Come From Behind

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.
Liverpool won the competition in 2019, and they will fancy their chances of a repeat this time around.
They have already beaten both Manchester United and Leicester City en route to the quarters, and with tournament favourites Manchester City and Chelsea both eliminated, they could hardly ask for a better opportunity.
They certainly have the fire-power. They have scored 84 times in all competitions this season, and boast a number of outstanding individual talents.
Take James Balagizi, whose hat-trick helped see off Leicester in the last 16.
Remarkably, those were the England U17 international’s first goals of the season, but his ability stands out a mile at this level, whether as part of a midfield three or, on occasion, when playing further forward.
