American whizkid Marc Pelosi was back for Liverpool U21s in their win over Chelsea yesterday.

A solitary strike from Jack Dunn, his seventh goal in just six games was enough as the young Reds were made to battle in awful conditions at Aldershot Town FC.

They were boosted by the return of Pelosi, after the midfielder was sidelined for 14 months with a broken leg. Named as a substitute, the American starlet entered the fray on 76 minutes, replacing goalscorer Dunn for his first piece of action since February 2013.
