Mellor on target again

The 20-year-old striker took his tally to seventeen goals in as many games for the second string this season. Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier, who already has the pleasure of witnessing the return to form of England forwards Michael Owen and Emile Heskey, will no doubt be pleased to see Mellor offer a further striking option.

Czech pair Milan Baros and Patrik Berger were also in fine form during the Reds 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers at Morecambe's Christie Park.
