BIRKENHEAD -- Liverpool Under-23s extended their lead over Everton at the top of the Premier League 2 table to five points with a 4-0 win over their local rivals on Saturday night.
Goals from Herbie Kane, Corey Whelan, Yan Dhanda and a superb strike from England's U17s World Cup hero Rhian Brewster at Prenton Park ensured Liverpool stayed ahead of the Blues in the league standings.
The match took place just a few hours after both first team's had played, with the fixture scheduled to accommodate Liverpool's trip to Sevilla on Tuesday as part of the UEFA Youth League.
