Liverpool and Manchester United have a well known rivalry and it seems clear that this stems all the way down to Under-18 level too.
During a clash between the two sides, Luca Furnell-Gill appeared to punch Ethan Wheatley in an incident that didn’t lead to any on-field punishment.
Trent Kone-Doherty, Kieran Morrison and Michael Laffey managed to get themselves on the score-sheet, with the Reds falling to a 4-3 defeat on a dramatic evening.
It’s likely though that the Steeton-born defender, who converted from being a winger, will likely face some retrospective action for this moment of madness.
