Liverpool under 17's continued their
unbeaten run with a 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday at Middlewood
Road today.
They completely dominated a first
half in which Wednesday hardly had a shot at goal. Adam Flynn
was man of the match with a superb display at centre back and
Steven Gillespie looked good in midfield. Liverpool had a couple
of chances to take an early lead but Massie tried walking the
ball into the net instead of shooting.
The first goal came on 27 minutes.
Captain Andy Wright got on the end of a corner and his header
was deflected into the net by a Wednesday defender. Another
corner, this time from the left found Mark Smyth un-marked at
the far post and his header made it 2-0 on 38 minutes.
In the early stages of the second
half a big score looked on the cards as Wednesday looked as
though they were going to give up but shortly after they hit
the bar and this seemed to spur them on. It was Liverpool then
who were under pressure as Wednesday took control. The Reds
became so dis-organised coach Dave Shannon referred to his team
as "Raggy Arsed Rovers" at one stage. Wednesday couldn`t finish
though and Liverpool held on for the win.
