Yesil at the double in Spurs rout
Samed Yesil scored twice as Liverpool U21s produced a superb performance to beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 at White Hart Lane on Friday night.
After back-to-back defeats to Fulham and Leicester City, Michael Beale's side returned to winning ways in fine style.
Ryan Kent was also on the mark on a memorable evening for a young Reds line-up.
Beale handed Corey Whelan a debut at U21 level while Spurs fielded France international Etienne Capoue.
The young Reds made the best possible start when they netted inside the opening five minutes when Kent fired home a low shot into the bottom corner of the net.

It got even better for Liverpool on 28 minutes when German U21 international Yesil pounced onto a loose ball and finished superbly.
Four minutes into the second-half Yesil was tormenting Spurs again as he produced another superb finish to make it 3-0.
Will Miller pulled a late goal back for the home side but it was a deserved victory for Beale's charges.
Reflecting on the victory, Beale told Liverpoolfc.com: "I'm delighted for the lads and we did ever so well.
"It was great to see Samed getting two goals and only he could have scored the type of goals he got tonight, and with his wrong foot.
"It was great to see him after the game with a big smile on his face. He has worked so hard to get back to full fitness and his sharpness is coming back.
"Ryan scored a great goal with his left foot and he, Harry Wilson and Sergi Canos were terrific for us.
"Corey was superb on his debut and Connor Randall and Alex O'Hanlon did a great job."
