Liverpool U23 coach Barry Lewtas is delighted with the form of Joe Hardy.
Hardy scored twice in victory over Southampton on the weekend.
Lewtas praised Hardy and his attacking partner, Fidel O'Rourke.
“Joe knows how to finish! They were predatory goals. He took his second one really well, through one-on-one with the goalkeeper. He'd had another chance just before that from a narrow angle which the 'keeper had saved," he told the club's website.
“It's up to us to try to create opportunities for Joe to score and then it's over to him, really. If we get the ball to them in good positions then we do believe that, in Fidel and Joe, we've got two centre-forwards there who will score us goals.
“I was really pleased today with how the front two worked together, they were fantastic for us. Joe got the goals but it was certainly a partnership up-front that won us the game today."
