Liverpool U18s coach Marc Bridge-Wilkinson was pleased with their 10-0 friendly win against Southend.

Trey Nyoni scored a hat-trick, with Ranel Young, Kareem Ahmed and Afolami Onanuga all scoring twice. Wellity Lucky also joined them on the scoresheet.

Bridge-Wilkinson told Liverpoolfc.com: "It was a really pleasing performance and we played really well.

"We scored some excellent goals and it was nice to see the work we've been doing on the training pitch really pay off today.

"Trey got his first goals in a red shirt, he will take a lot from that, and it was great to have Ranel back.

"Fair play to Southend United as well. They never gave up even with the high scoreline, they kept working hard and we thank them for coming to Kirkby."
