The Reds won the away leg of their FA Youth Cup semi-final against Birmingham City at St Andrews last night. Two goals from Lauri Dalla Valle and a fine solo effort from David Amoo gave Liverpool a commanding 3-0 lead to take back to Anfield.
The lead could have been greater. Dalla Valle, Adam Pepper, Amoo, Nathan Ecclestone and Thomas Ince all had chances to increase the lead but where denied by the Birmingham keeper who attoned for his Gary Sprake-like error in gifting the Reds their second goal by pulling off plenty of good saves in the second half.
