It was a frustrating day for Liverpool U18s as they went down 2-1 at home to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
The away side found themselves 2-0 up with two second half goals, and despite a fine late strike from Jack Dunn Mike Marsh's side couldn't force an equaliser.
The young Reds played some excellent football at times and created some great openings. Substitute David Moli also had a strong appeal for a penalty turned down.
It was to be a double blow for Marsh as he lost Jordan Lussey and Kristoffer Peterson who both left the field with injuries.
Marsh told Liverpoolfc.tv: "It's a tough one to swallow really as we didn't deserve to lose the game.
"We created some great chances, we could easily have had a penalty but it just wasn't our day.
"It was a shame losing Jordan and Kristoffer and we'll have to see how they are ahead of next weekend's Academy derby with Everton.
"On the plus side Jack Dunn came back from injury and scored a really good goal."
Liverpool team: Jamie Stephens, Lewis Hatch, Tom King, Joe Rafferty, Matty Regan, Peter Aylmer,, Kristoffer Peterson (sub Nathan Quirk, sub David Moli), Josh Sumner, Adam Morgan, Henoc Mukendi, Jordan Lussey (sub Jack Dunn).
