Liverpool have now won three of their opening four fixtures and this week's win was achieved thanks to goals from Craig Lindfield and two from Charlie Barnett.

Unfortunately for the Reds their win was marred by a serious injury to defender Jay Spearing who was carried off with a suspected broken leg.

Academy coach John Owens said: "Unfortunately the good win was overshadowed by the injury to Jay Spearing. Jay is such a good competitor and really gets the other lads going and was in great form this season. We wish him well in his recovery and hopefully he will be back in about three months.

"I was pleased with the performance against Leeds and we played some good football at times."
