The reserve team emulated their senior in the Christmas matches by also securing a double victory. Following their success over Liverpool Reserves at Turf Moor on Monday, they visited Liverpool yesterday and won by the same score, 2-1. Liverpool played better than in the encounter at Burnley, and owed their defeat mainly to bad finishing.
The Burnley men were to be complimented upon their opportunism and enthusiasm in a game that was always interesting. Smith’s goal came at the second attempt, and soon afterwards McRorie, on the Liverpool right, was responsible for a perfect centre which led to Reid going close.
A minute later Crawford drove in a shot which a defender got away off the line. A brilliant advance by Liverpool’s inside forwards led to Crawford scoring the equaliser. Just on the interval McRorie had a chance of giving Liverpool the lead, but shot wide from close range.
Liverpool were forceful on the resumption, and Moughton made a brilliant save from Crawford. Eventually a well-placed corner kick by Jeavons enabled Schofield to put Burnley ahead. Before the Liverpool missed several good openings.
