Manchester United U21 defeated Liverpool 2-1 on Saturday.
Luca Stephenson gave Barry Lewtas' side the lead within four minutes and his side looked like they were set to continue the good form which saw them beat PSG's U21 side in the Premier League International Cup on Wednesday. However, two goals from Joe Hugill saw United come back to win the match 2-1.
Stephenson's opener was well taken, with the 19-year-old midfielder curling in a shot from the edge of the penalty area following a set piece. Hugill levelled on 20 minutes and both sides exchanged blows before Liverpool were denied a second half penalty following a potential foul on Stephenson.
However, it was deemed to have been a foul by the Liverpool man and seconds later United were ahead, with Hugill adding his second of the match to see United take the lead. Liverpool missed a late chance through Melkamu Frauendorf as they could not find an equaliser.
