Jerome Sinclair celebrated his 18th birthday with a goal as Liverpool's U18s recorded a comprehensive 3-0 home victory over Bolton Wanderers today.

Sergi Canos and Will Marsh were also on the scoresheet as Neil Critchley's side capped a pleasing week with a dominant performance at the Kirkby Academy.

"We dominated the game from the start and 3-0 in no way flattered us," said Critchley. "We created lots of chances and could have scored double that.

"It has been a great week for us - two clean sheets, seven goals and our first European experience. It was nice to see Jerome get a goal on his birthday. He has had a really good week."

U18s team: Firth, Whelan, Hart, Brewitt, Roberts, Chirivella, Wilson, Phillips, Sinclair (Nicholas), Canos, Marsh (Maxwell).
