Manchester United's U18s continued their incredible 100 per cent league record this season by beating Liverpool 4-3 in a thriller on Tuesday night. But the entertaining affair left a sour taste on the tongue after Liverpool defender Luca Furnell-Gill punched and elbowed United forward Ethan Wheatley. Ten minutes later, Ethan Williams fired the Red Devils ahead for the first time, and James Scanlon made it four with 15 minutes remaining. Michael Laffey's stoppage-time strike was only a consolation as Adam Lawrence's exciting side extended their advantage at the league summit. However, a memorable victory in the North-West grudge match was somewhat marred by the behaviour of Liverpool's Furnell-Gill.
