Liverpool youngster Jayden Danns' double saw his Under-18s team win 2-1 against Fleetwood Town.

The Reds' youth side were facing a tough opponent in the third round of the FA Youth Cup.

However, Danns showed the composure that was needed to get his team the result they wanted.

“It was a hard game, a tough game, like we expected," boss Mark Bridge-Wilkinson told club media post-match.

“Fleetwood gave us a really tough test, they were obviously really competitive. I thought they played quite well with the ball as well and gave us a lot of problems in the game.

“I don't think we reached the level that we know we're capable of, which is disappointing. But obviously we're pleased to get through to the next round.

“The disappointment from my side is I know we can play better, I know our performance can be better. I know individually we can make better decisions and we can tidy our technical moments up so that we take control of the game.

“It wasn't to be today and like I said, we're just really pleased that we've managed to find a way through it even though we've not played particularly well.

“Two good goals, to be honest – two center-forward goals. He could have had maybe another one or two, he got into the right areas and on a different day maybe he does.

“Maybe if we take a chance a little bit sooner than we did, maybe the game changes. But overall I think we've got to be pleased obviously to be into the next round, but we do know we've got a lot more work to do."
