Ince strikes in Blades draw
18th Apr 2010 - Latest News
Tom Ince was on target as Liverpool under-18s claimed a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon.
The young winger pulled the Reds level late in the second-half after the home side had opened the scoring with a long range drive.
It means Rodolfo Borrell's side have now gone seven matches unbeaten, a run that the coach believes they can extend if they continue to show the right attitude.
"It was a tough game and a difficult playing surface but we showed good character to come from behind and earn the draw," Borrell told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"The first half was very equal but after the break we were better in possession and had some good chances to score the second goal."
He added: "I am happy with our continued improvement, however, this is is not the time for us to relax. We have made significant strides in the last few months, but we must work even harder now because we still have a long way to go.
"We are on the right track and there is no doubt that winning matches has helped the confidence of the team. But these young players need to push on and ensure they keep improving all the time."
Liverpool under-18s: Oldfield, Flanagan, Robinson, Wisdom, Sama, Coady, Sterling, Roddan, Ngoo (Silva 60), Adorjan, Ince. Unused subs: Emilsson, Chamberlain, Ihiekwe, Giglio.
