Liverpool U21 defeated Blackburn Rovers 3-2 on Sunday.

Wales international Rhys Williams started in defence, while winger Tom Hill returned from injury in the second-half.

First-half goals from Williams and James Norris had given the young Reds a narrow 2-1 advantage at the break, one which was stretched by Layton Stewart early in the second half.

Ethan Walker's finish, though, set up a tight conclusion but Liverpool deservedly collected the three points in the Premier League 2 clash.

Liverpool U21s: Davies, Jonas, Williams, Olufunwa, Beck, Stephenson, Norris, Clark (Corness, 82), Frauendorf (Miles, 90), Woltman (Hill, 74), Stewart (Musialowski, 90).

Unused sub: Kelly.
