Netherlands youth-teamer Bobby Adekanye came off the bench for the Reds in the 62nd minute and added more gloss to the scoreline by scoring the away team's fourth goal in stoppage time.
Adekanye has now netted three goals from five appearances in the UEFA Youth League this season.
Liam Millar, Herbie Kane and England U17 World Cup-winning striker Rhian Brewster were also on target.
