Wow, the highlights of this game will be worth looking out for. Spurs 2- 6 Liverpool. Woodburn only scored one.
Tottenham U23s 2-6 Liverpool U23s
Lamex Stadium, Stevenage, September 19, 2016
Goals
Wilson 3′
Woodburn 6′
Brannagan 8′
Alexander-Arnold 33′
Edwards 57′
Brannagan 79′
Lennon 84′
Loft 90+6
Having taken apart Leicester City 4-0 in their last outing on September 11, just as the Liverpool first-team had a day earlier, Michael Beale‘s side took on Spurs at Stevenage’s Lamex Stadium.
There was no place in the starting line-up for Danny Ings, which perhaps suggests he is set to feature for the Reds against Derby County in the League Cup third round on Tuesday.
Kevin Stewart did start, however, despite being a regular member of the first-team squad this season, while man-of-the-moment Ben Woodburn was again hoping to shine.
Other notable absentees were Connor Randall, Pedro Chirivella and Ovie Ejaria, all of whom will hope to make an appearance at Pride Park.
Liverpool made a remarkable start to proceedings, scoring three times in the opening eight minutes.
Harry Wilson opened the scoring from close-range, before Woodburn showed good strength and finished well to add a second, further outlining his vast potential. Cameron Brannagan then slotted home the third.
After what must have like some welcome respite for the hosts, Liverpool got a fourth in the 33rd minute, courtesy of a superb 25-yard effort from Trent Alexander-Arnold.
11 minutes into the second-half, Spurs gave the scoreline a minor bit of parity through Marcus Edwards, but it was about all they could muster.
With 10 minutes remaining, Brannagan made it 5-1, with the midfielder firing into the top corner to get his second goal of the evening.
The icing on the cake was then delivered by substitute Brooks Lennon, in what was an absolutely emphatic display from Beale’s men.
Loft added a penalty for the home side deep in stoppage time but nothing could take the shine off the young Reds’ emphatic victory.
It is now three wins on the bounce for the Reds’ youngsters – four if you include the 6-1 friendly win over Qatar last Wednesday – who are going from strength to strength as the season progresses.
Liverpool U23s: Grabara, Alexander-Arnold, Maguire, Ilori, Whelan, Stewart, Wilson, Virtue (Phillips 59′), Gomes (Lennon 72′), Brannagan, Woodburn.
Subs not used: Brewitt, Firth, Juanma

You had me in the first 10 seconds.
26 goals in 5 games! Our reserve games are even better than some premier league ones.
A few really nice goals against Spurs
He has that sort of gangly, slightly ungainly unpredictableness that confuses opponents who don't know what he's about to do, mainly because it kind of looks like he's not quite sure what he's about to do either. Like me when I'm fucked and 'dancing' - which in reality is more advanced not-falling-over. Or like Paolo Wanchope.
(When he used to play football, obv. Not dancing. I don't know what he looks like when he's dancing. Although I'd imagine it's not too dissimilar to what he looked like when he played football.)
*goes off to Youtube "Paolo Wanchope dancing"*

Thats cos they are all 13/14. The u18s are currently playing in the u23s or senior team.
haha
A-A looks like a serious prospect. We could do with a quality FB coming through. I suspect better at going forward than defending though.
It's still working for me dude...maybe try again or try a different browser?
Yup, still working for me.
Trent A-A: The Next Big thing?
Trent Alexander-Arnold believes he is learning from “the best right-back in the country” as he continues to impress as he seeks to make the breakthrough to Jurgen Klopp’s first team at Anfield.
The 17-year-old from West Derby is in superb form, following up a stunning goal in the U23s’ 6-2 rout of Tottenham last Monday with another superb effort following a surging run in the comprehensive 3-0 home win over Sunderland on Sunday.
That win took Mick Beale’s side to third in the Premier League 2 table, behind pacesetting neighbours Everton, with Alexander-Arnold turning in a man of the match performance from the right-back slot.
He already looks as if he could be the next Liverpool-born player to make a real impact at Anfield as the club seeks to replace some of the famous homegrown talents of the past.
Alexander-Arnold, who turns 18 next month, said: “It’s going well, we’re playing well as a team and obviously I’m playing well individually which is the best combination I can think of. But the team performance comes first. If we play well, I’ll have a good game as well is how I look at it.
“It (the Spurs goal) was probably the best goal I’ve scored. I’ve done it once or twice in training but never in a match - I just got in and hit it and hoped for the best.”

Appointed captain of the Liverpool U18s at just 16, Alexander-Arnold has long been held in high regard at the Academy and is now benefitting from working every day at Melwood under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp and his coaching staff.
It’s an experience in which he is revelling.
“It’s unbelievable, every day just going in there and being round top quality players and top quality management as well. Every day I’m learning something new as well and hopefully if I keep learning I’ll keep pushing on and fighting for places.
“I think all the players are really friendly with the young players. They’ve obviously been there at one point in their career as well. I couldn’t really pick someone out but I’d say the captain (Jordan) Henderson took us under his wing, talked to us about how hard it’s going to be but obviously we’re good enough to be there, that’s why we’re there.”

He has seen his U23s colleague Ovie Ejaria make his first team debut in the EFL Cup game against Derby and he is hoping that he will be the next to catch the eye of Klopp, having already secured a place on the bench in the Premier League opener at Arsenal and impressed during several pre-season outings with the first team.
“I’m just going to keep working hard, keep learning, do the things in training he wants me to do. With time I’ll mature, I should be fighting for places.
“Ovie’s only a year older than me, I’m really happy for him because I know he deserved it with his performances and the way that he trains, it’s thoroughly deserved. Hopefully if I keep training well I’ll get into the manager’s books.”
Alexander-Arnold is in no doubt about the talent around him in the Reds’ U23 squad and he believes there is the possibility of several of them making it through in the future.

“I’d say all the team have a chance of breaking into the first team, it’s just about timing and positions really, so everyone has got a big amount of quality and we all want to push forward as a team and do well.”
Helping him along is the example of the man for whom he may now be considered a deputy, Nathaniel Clyne - with last year’s ‘first reserve’ Connor Randall now switched to left back for the U23s.
I want to still play my way
“I’m trying to watch him and learn how good he is because he’s probably the best right back in the league for me, defensively and going forward. He’s so consistent in everything he does. I want to still play the way I play but if I can learn things from him then I’ll try and do that every day.
One of the additional strings to Alexander-Arnold’s bow is his amazing versatility, having played both as a central midfielder and on the right of the three behind for the U18s before the switch to right-back with the U23s.

Many see central midfield as his long-term position but the player himself is happy to take advice from his coaches.
“I’m not sure, I like playing both positions and think I can play both positions well, so I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing and wherever the manager wants me to play, I’ll play. Whichever he sees will get the best out of me I won’t argue or question him because I know the decision will be right one for my future.”
Alexander-Arnold will be hoping to take his latest step forward for the Reds U23s team who start their Premier League International Cup campaign at Prenton Park at 7pm on Wednesday against Wolfsburg of Germany.

[article]Danny Ings sent a timely reminder to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp of his claims by scoring a hat-trick for the under-23s at Ipswich.
Ings has now netted six goals in five appearances for the second string after his treble earned a 3-0 win at Portman Road in the Reds’ opening game in their Premier League Cup group.
The striker came through 90 minutes as he continued his quest for fitness along with Mamadou Sakho, who also featured for the full match.
It’s almost exactly 12 months since Ings last started a senior match for Liverpool when scoring in the Goodison derby draw with Everton last October.[/article]

It might be only U23s, but Ings knows the route to the onion bag. Looks like some sexy assisting from my boy Ejaria too.
Kamil Grabara has followed in the steps of countryman Jerzy Dudek in making the journey from Poland to Anfield.
The 17-year-old arrived this summer for an initial £250,000 from Ruch Chorzow and is already attracting attention, so much so he's just been named among the 60 best young talents in world football. According to the Guardian anyway.
Grabara has been mixing his time between Liverpool U18s and U23s this season, sharing game time with Caoimhin Kelleher with Shamal George still on the sidelines.
