Liverpool kids can’t break Plymouth resistance

Liverpool 0 Plymouth 0: Liverpool’s talented youngsters have commanded plenty of hype this season but fourth-tier Plymouth Argyle delivered something of a stern reality check at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp selected the most youthful Liverpool team in the club’s history, with an average age of 21 years and 296 days, against the League Two side.

For the emerging talents of Ben Woodburn, Sheyi Ojo, Ovie Ejaria and Trent Alexander-Arnold, all of whom have been spoken about in glowing terms this season, this was a learning curve.
