Thomas Hill scores for Liverpool in the penalty shoot-out

Liverpool Under-21s defeated Blackpool 8-7 on penalties to win their EFL Trophy match at Bloomfield Road.

After the Northern Group E encounter had finished goalless at 90 minutes, it went straight to a shoot-out.

Goalkeeper Harvey Davies saved from Terry Gondo and then Tukudzwa Gwanzura to help win it for the young Reds.

Liverpool take two points for the shoot-out win and Blackpool one, but despite the result, the U21 side is eliminated from the competition.

The Seasiders round off their group campaign next Tuesday and must avoid defeat at Harrogate Town next Tuesday to go through alongside Crewe Alexandra.
