Under 18's draw

Last updated : 04 October 2006 By Al Campbell
A late equaliser from Mattone Awang earned the Reds a point as they drew 1-1 at home to Wolves in their latest Academy fixture. The draw means the under 18's are still to win this season.

Liverpool are playing well despite not getting that all important first win and Academy coach John Owens was pleased with his side's latest performance.

"We are still searching for that elusive first win of the season but while I'm disappointed not to have won I was pleased with how we played," Owens told the club's official website.

"Wolves are a very tall side and nine of their players were a lot bigger than ours. We had a problem because our tallest centre back Laurence Gaughan only came back from international duty on Friday so he couldn't start. My fears were then realised when Wolves opened the scoring from a set piece.

"We did well in the second half and we got an equaliser which we deserved. We play Everton on Saturday so we will keep working hard and hopefully we will give a good account of ourselves against them."
