U18S -Match Report: Liverpool beaten by reading in the Premier League Cup

After changing the goals, Reading asserted itself on the tie and shortly after the hour the hour scored three quickfire goals to take full control.

George Booth initially achieved a distracted strike in the area, although Liverpool could not clear the ball out of the last third.

The visitors then doubled their advantage, and Osho swept a degree of effort into the net of an Ashqar Ahmed Ball from the right flank before Kiyan Coke-Mile-Smith won and then converted a penalty.

Liverpool tried an answer in the final phase, but could not get to the goalsman when they defeated themselves.
