Liverpool striker scores in ninth match running as summer signing makes mark again

Liverpool under-18s suffered only their second league defeat of the season after Newcastle United came away with a 2-1 victory at the Reds' Academy base on Saturday afternoon.

Marc Bridge-Wilkinson's side took the lead in the 16th minute of the match through Jayden Danns, whose finish ensured he scored for the ninth consecutive match. The 17-year-old, son of former Premier League footballer Neil Danns, now has 12 goals to his name for the season in all competitions.

Coolly slotting into the bottom right corner of the goal, the teenager was expertly picked out by a searching ball played over the Magpies' backline by summer signing from Leicester City Trey Nyoni, who is already impressing Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool's lead lasted only three minutes, however, as Sean Neave got the visitors back on track after engineering space inside the Reds' box to beat Polish shot-stopper, Kornel Misciur.

After scoring the first goal for Newcastle, Neave then turned provider six minutes before half-time after teeing up team-mate Thomas Bryant. This effort ensured the Toon Army had successfully turned the game on its head as they became the first away team to win a Premier League North fixture at the Kirkby Academy.

Liverpool made three substitutions during the second half as they looked for a way back into the game, first introducing Lucas Pitt for Michael Laffey before later calling on Cody Pennington and Joshua Lambie, but there was no way through.
