Liverpool 1 Leicester 2 PL2 : Solanke Builds Up Fitness, Ejaria Features, Adekanye Benched

An injury time goal saw Leicester City beat table-toppers Liverpool 2-1 on game week nine in Premier League 2 on Sunday afternoon at Prenton Park in Merseyside.

In the month of October, 2017 Fifa U20 Golden Ball winner Dominic Solanke has managed only 42 minutes of game time from a possible 450 for the Reds first team, so the striker was drafted into the U23 squad to keep him match fit.

Former Golden Eaglets trainee Ovie Ejaria started before coming off in the 82nd minute while Bobby Adekanye and Layton Ndukwu were on the bench for Liverpool and Leicester for the entirety of the game.

Against the run of play, Harry Wilson gave the home team the lead in the 27th minute after a nice lay-off from Daniel Ings, before Leicester City went 2-1 up thanks to goals from Admiral Muskwe and Sam Hughes.

Liverpool could have snatched a point at the death but defender Lloyd Jones saw his shot come off the woodwork.

The young Reds lead the way in the division with 21 points, the Foxes are third with 17 points in the kitty.
