Liverpool handed Tyler Morton injury blow as Under 23s earn away victory over Arsenal

Liverpool have been handed a injury blow after Tyler Morton was substituted in the first half of the Under 23s' 4-1 win over Arsenal in Premier League 2.

Morton, Marcelo Pitaluga, Conor Bradley, Rhys Williams and Billy Koumetio were among the key names to line up at Meadow Park on Friday evening.

On the 20 minute mark the visitors were forced to make a change as Morton made way for Dominic Corness due to a slight issue.

Liverpool then took the lead shortly before half-time as Jack Bearne saw an effort on goal deflected into the back of the net.

After the break the young Reds extended their lead courtesy of a header from defender Koumetio before the hosts pulled one back just after the hour.

Arsenal were then reduced to 10 men after Zine-Eddine Oulad M'Hand was sent off for a challenge on Koumetio.

It ended a comfortable victory for Liverpool, though, with two late goals from Conor Bradley and Max Woltman enough to secure an important 4-1 away win against the Gunners.
