Goals: Quansah 16′, Gordon 49′, Woltman pen 55′ 79′, Musialowski 64′ 87′
Saturday’s clash at Kirkby kicked off at the same time as the first team’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle at Anfield, but unlike their senior counterparts, Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s side finished their chances.
Bridge-Wilkinson made four changes to his side from the 1-1 draw with Burnley last time out, as Harvey Davies, James Norris, James Balagizi and Kaide Gordon came back into the fold.
The first half was similar to that experienced by the first team in that, following Jarell Quansah’s header from a Mateusz Musialowski corner, a barrage of chances came for the young Reds with no way past Boro ‘keeper Max Metcalfe.
