Goals: Glatzel (66) and Hill (42)
With a rather straightforward victory over Wolves at home, the young Reds maintained their strong start to the Premier League 2 season.
Soon after the hour mark, Glatzel’s first goal since a 3-0 victory against Swindon while on loan at Tranmere, was enough to secure the victory.
Following their first-ever success in the EFL tournament on Tuesday against Morecambe, it gave Liverpool U21s their second triumph of the week.
Just before halftime, captain Tom Hill opened the scoring with a goal of his own, and Barry Lewtas’ team went on to secure another significant victory.
After the break, the action picked up in pace, forcing Mrozek to make an early save from Owen Hesketh.
After a string of injuries, Glatzel, who recently signed a new contract with the team, was on hand to extend his team’s lead after 66 minutes when he latched onto a pass from Hill and drove the ball home.
Jay Spearing, who continues to serve as a player-coach for Lewtas’ team, was once again introduced from the bench after making a brief debut against Morecambe.
The young Reds begin their Premier League International Cup campaign on Wednesday night as they welcome Monaco as their next guests to Kirkby.
