Wright hat-trick helps Liverpool to brilliant comeback

Liverpool's U19s pulled off a brilliant second-half comeback to beat LASK U19s 4-2 in their Uefa Youth League encounter in Austria.

Will Wright scored twice in three minutes to level the game in the second half after Rob Page's side had gone two goals behind.

Wright, 18, turned provider in the 84th minute as he teed up 15-year-old Luca Eden to complete the turnaround before scoring a late penalty to complete his hat-trick.

The Austrian side took the lead in the 23rd minute when Liverpool failed to clear their lines and Paul Krapf headed in from close range.

And LASK doubled their lead shortly after the break through Jonas Ilk, who headed in from a corner.

Liverpool should have gone 3-0 down when Luca Ortner hit the woodwork when he was through on goal but less than a minute later, Eden played in Wright, who pulled one back for the visitors.

Three minutes later, Wright headed in from Finn Inglethorpe's cross to silence the home crowd at the Waldstadion Stadium in Pasching.

There was late joy for Liverpool when Wright played the ball across goal to Eden, who slotted in from inside the box, before Wright sent the keeper the wrong way from 12 yards out after AJ Yeguo was fouled inside the box.

Eden became the second-youngest English goalscorer in this competition after Arsenal's Max Dowman,

Liverpool have four points from their first two games in the Uefa Youth League, having drawn 2-2 against Atletico Madrid in September.
