Liverpool coach Marc Bridge-Wilkinson was delighted with his players after their stunning FA Youth Cup thrashing of Arsenal.

The Reds beat last season's finalists 7-1, with Lewis Koumas (3), Jayden Danns (2) and Trent Kone-Doherty (2) the goalscorers.

Yeah, we all are [proud]," Bridge-Wilkinson told Liverpoolfc.com post-match. The whole Academy and all the staff, we're all proud of the performance the lads have put in.

We knew that Arsenal would come here and be tough opposition. Having not watched the game back, I don't know if the scoreline flatters us.

We're really grateful to obviously get the scoreline and win the game like that. But they are a good side and they have got some good players, and I think the performance the lads have put in today to a man Michael [Laffey] coming on, Figgy [Keyrol Figueroa] as well that just epitomises what we do every day in training."
