THE senior side may have suffered late woe at Bournemouth the previous day.

But, for Liverpool's under-21 side, there was delightful drama with the last kick of the match on another good weekend for the Academy teams.

Kieran Morrison converted an injury-time penalty to ensure the Reds came from behind to beat Leeds United 2-1 in Premier League 2 at Kirkby on Sunday to strengthen their claims for a playoff berth.

It came the day after Josh Sonni-Lambie continued his goalscoring form with a hat-trick for the U18s in a game in which 14-year-old Luca Eden became the youngest-ever goalscorer for Liverpool at that age group.

Rob Page's U21s were bolstered by the inclusion of Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha in the starting lineup, the latter having made an impressive cameo for the first team at Bournemouth the previous evening.
