Liverpool Tonge lashed by Blades

Sheffield Utd 2 Liverpool 1

Liverpool-target Michael Tonge upstaged Neil Mellor to leave Sheffield United on the brink of the Worthington Cup final.

Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier has been a long-time admirer of 19-year-old and it was easy to see why with Tonge scoring a stunning late second-half brace as United came from behind to snatch the first leg advantage of this semi final.
