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.
U18s match report: Liverpool 6-0 Middlesbrough
Andy Kelly Liverpool U18s produced a sparkling warm-up for their FA Youth Cup date at Anfield next week with an impressive 6-0 defeat of Middlesbrough on Saturday.
Doubles from Max Woltman and Mateusz Musialowski followed goals by Jarell Quansah and Kaide Gordon to deliver a deserved win in the U18 Premier League for Marc Bridge-Wilkinson’s side.
Having netted just once during a first half that should have yielded more goals, the young Reds were prolific after the break to make their dominance pay in the Kirkby sunshine.
A strong first period brought a succession of good chances but a combination of last-ditch defending and profligate finishing kept the visitors in the game.
