Liverpool stun Everton with dramatic 96th minute winner from new signing in derby

A dramatic 96th-minute winner from Trey Nyoni saw Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 in the Under-18s derby at the Kirkby Academy on Saturday.

After an early goal from Martin Sherif was cancelled out by Jayden Danns, it looked as though the visiting Blues had done enough to hold on for a draw before the Reds got their reward in the closing stages thanks to new signing Nyoni.

Everton took the lead early on when Sherif escaped the attention of the Liverpool defence before he steered home a finish. It was a goal that came after Ben Trueman was dispossessed following a difficult pass around 30 yards from his own goal.

The Reds responded quickly through Danns when he bundled home a close-range finish for his seventh of the season after excellent work from Ranel Young down the right flank.

Goalkeeper Kornel Miscuir got lucky moments later when his scuffed clearance landed to Everton on the edge of the box before they failed to capitalise and the young shot-stopper saw his dawdling in possession impact him again moments later when he was caught with a late challenge from goalscorer Sherif. The Blues striker was yellow carded for the tackle.

Miscuir, who had spent last week training with Alisson Becker at the AXA Training Centre, was unable to continue as a result and was forced off for Reece Trueman.

Afolama Onahuga almost made it 2-1 to Liverpool but his strike bounced off the post before great tracking from Wellity Lucky denied Everton in a rare counter-attack from a Reds corner.
