Manchester City EDS 3, Liverpool U23 2
Goals by Lorenzo Gonzalez, Rabbi Matondo, and Felix Nmecha wiped out an early Harry Wilson penalty for Liverpool who could only score a late consolation through Toni Gomes as the struggling Manchester City EDS side, who lost Benjamin Garre to injury, toppled Premier League 2 league leaders Liverpool at the City Football Academy.
City were lucky to win after Liverpool had served out the better chances in an injury hit game in which three players were substituted in an extended first half that lasted nearly an hour thanks to extended injury time with injury niggles on both sides throughout the game.
