Toni Gomes scored a hat-trick as a young Liverpool side thrashed Qatar Under-20s 6-1 in a friendly at the Kirkby Academy.

The 17-year-old Portugal youth international put the finishing touches to some slick moves as the Reds outclassed the visitors.

Cameron Brannagan, Adam Phillips and Okera Simmonds were also on target as Liverpool cruised to a thumping victory.

Coach Michael Beale told Liverpoolfc.com: “It was an excellent performance from the lads against the Qatar national team.

“We were at under-20 level and it was great to see lads get some valuable minutes under their belt.

“Joe Maguire was outstanding at left wing-back, Cameron Brannagan dominated the midfield with Matty Virtue, and Toni Gomes was in great form in attack.”

Liverpool U20 team : Ben Williams, Nathan Phillips, Juanma, Tom Brewitt, Joe Maguire (Lattie 61), Matty Virtue, Kane Lewis (Ryan 61), Cameron Brannagan, Toni Gomes (Kris Owens 61), Adam Phillips (Garton 61), Brooks Lennon (Simmonds 61).
