FA COUNTY YOUTH CUP
Round 2
EAST RIDING FA 1
LIVERPOOL FA 2
The early exchanges were concentrated in midfield with the visitors enjoying most of the possession. It was 24 minutes before the first shot on target from Livepool’s Dean Williamson brought out a fine save from keeper Jordan Bowes. Just before the interval Nathan Bulfield came to the Riding’s rescue clearing a shot off the line from Dean Astbury.
After the break, Liverpool continued to pile on the pressure and a shot from James Robinson was blocked by Alex Low. The visitors took a deserved lead in the 62nd minute when following another save by Bowes, the ball was not cleared despite several attempts and Williamson drilled an angled drive into the bottom corner of the net. The hosts first effort on goal from James Hall floated over the crossbar. At the other end Ryan O’Hare’s driven shot was parried by keeper Bowes but Robinson was on hand only to hit the rebound into the side netting. However, he made amends in the 83rd minute when his shot was blocked by Bulfield but reacted quickly to the hit the ball home.
The East Riding scored a consolation goal in the 85th minute when Aaron Wade headed in from close range.
