LIVERPOOL Reserves moved to within three points of leaders Manchester United at the top of the Barclays Premier Reserve League North after a 2-1 victory over Bolton last night.
It was David Ngog who made the difference as, after coming on as a half-time substitute, he broke the deadlock with 18 minutes left.
Then Bolton captain Rhys Bennett deflected Gerardo Bruna’s free-kick beyond his own goalkeeper to make it 2-0.
Zoltan Harsanyi reduced the arrears in stoppage time, but John McMahon’s men held out to cut the gap on pacesetters United at the top of the table – but Liverpool still have two games in hand.
They are looking like they are in the right kind of form to take advantage too – this victory extended their unbeaten run to 16 games.
McMahon’s team included the likes of Nabil El Zhar , Dani Pacheco and Daniel Ayala but it was Ngog who set up the win when he tapped in fellow sub Alex Cooper’s cross.
LIVERPOOL RESERVES: Gulacsi, Irwin, Mavinga (Cooper 66), Ayala, Palsson, Pacheco, El Zhar (Ngog 46), Amoo, Dalla Valle (Brouwer 54), Plessis, runa. Subs: Kohlert, Oldfield.
