A round-up from the Liverpool youth ranks as the Reds enjoy a successful weekend of results at all levels Tyler Morton scored the only goal of the game as Liverpool Under-21s beat Manchester United 1-0 at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday afternoon to complete a superb weekend of results at all levels for the Reds. After Arne Slot's senior side had beaten Crystal Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park on Saturday lunchtime, thanks to Diogo Jota's early strike, Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's U18s also beat the Eagles 5-2 in the Premier League Cup later that day. And Barry Lewtas's side made three straight wins for the men's teams over the weekend thanks to Morton's second-half effort against the Red Devils.
On a weekend of goalkeeper upheaval following an illness to Caoimhin Kelleher and then a hamstring injury to Alisson Becker , which led to a senior debut for Vitezslav Jaros, it was shot-stopper Kornel Misciur who was one of the most impressive performers for the U21s as he made a string of saves to keep United at bay. Misciur made a number of saves throughout, with Ethan Ennis, Jack Fletcher, Habeeb Ogunneye, Dan Gore and Toby Collyer all denied, while Carter Pinnington also impressed at the back. Miscuir was excellent on the day as the young Reds secured an important victory on the road.
