Liverpool U23 coach Critchley pleased with PSG draw

Liverpool U23 coach Neil Critchley was pleased with his players for their draw against friendly opponents PSG.

Matty Virtue and George Johnston were on the mark as Liverpool U23s played out a 2-2 draw with PSG on Friday.

Critchley told Liverpoolfc.com: "It was a really good game against high-level opposition and a great test for us.

"We played really well and scored two excellent goals.

"It was good to have Adam [Lewis] back with us after playing for England U19s and he produced a great free-kick that led to George scoring our opening goal.

"We thought we had won the game but, to be fair, PSG scored a brilliant free-kick in stoppage-time, an effort into the top corner of the net.

"We would like to thank PSG for being superb hosts and giving us an opportunity to play at their academy."
