Late Willock winner sees Man Utd edge Liverpool U23s

Midfielder Matty Willock scored an injury-time header to claim a victory for Manchester United's U23s against their Liverpool counterparts on Monday night.

Reds goalkeeper Shamal George had saved a Sean Goss penalty 14 minutes from time, but failed to keep Willock's effort out at the death.

Nicky Butt's young Red Devils reportedly 'showed great resilience and stamina to upset the Merseysiders', according to ManUtd.com.

Following the win, United moved up to the seventh spot in the Premier League 2 table, while the Reds remain in third.
