Reserves fight back versus Utd
Goals from Michael Ngoo and Nathan Eccleston saw Liverpool Resrves come back from 2-0 down to draw with Manchester United on Thursday afternoon.
United had the better of the first half and went in with a two-goal advantage courtesy of Michael Keane and Jesse Lingard.
However, a Suso-inspired Liverpool controlled the second half and deservedly took a share of the spoils, in front of principal owner John W Henry.
Krisztian Adorjan set up Ngoo to make it 2-1 and Rodolfo Borrell's charges were excellent in the second-half against a United side containing many players with first-team experience.
Twice Suso went close to an equaliser before his brilliant pass played a major part in making it 2-2.
The Spaniard found Emmanuel Mendy down the right and his cross found Eccleston who fired home.
Peter Gulacsi was given a run-out in goal after his return from a loan spell with Hull City, and Jack Robinson got another 90 minutes under his belt.
Liverpool team: Gulacsi, Mendy, Robinson, Sama, Wisdom, Coady, Suso, Roberts, Morgan (Eccleston 45), Adorjan, Ngoo. Subs unused: McGiveron, Ward, Roddan, Smith.
