LIVERPOOL under-18s went down to their first defeat of the new FA Premier Academy League season when beaten 3-0 by a powerful Leicester City at the Kirkby Academy on Saturday.
Rodolfo Borrell’s youngsters had beaten Fulham in their opening match, but having to give size and age to a big and strong Leicester side proved too much for Liverpool, who ended the match with a 14-year-old keeper, Liam Jacob, in goal.
Leicester were very direct and although defenders Andre Wisdom and Conor Coady battled well, the visitors were comfortable winners in the end.
