Ben Woodburn struck twice for Liverpool U18 in their 3-2 win over Derby County yesterday.

Toni Gomes claimed the opening goal as he just beat the Derby defender to knock the ball home from close range, and two great finishes from youngster Woodburn put the Reds 3-0 up.

Derby scored twice in the last five minutes to set up a thrilling finish, but Neil Critchley's charges held on for the victory.

Reds coach Critchley told Liverpoolfc.com: "It was pleasing to see Ben get a couple of goals and Toni claimed our opening strike.

"Derby put us under pressure at the end with those two late goals but we managed to see the game out."
