U18s match report: Liverpool suffer league defeat at home to Wolves - Liverpool FC
The visitors started quickly in the U18 Premier League North fixture and were two ahead within 16 minutes, adding a third early in the second half.
Figueroa reduced the deficit but Wolves added a fourth within two minutes and never really looked like relinquishing their grip on the game.
Bradshaw struck in stoppage time to cap a good 45 minutes off the bench for the 15-year-old winger, though the result was rarely in doubt.
Wolves were sharper in the early stages and it was no surprise when they took the lead on 11 minutes.
Conor McLeod was given too much space on the edge of the Reds’ box and duly drilled a low angled shot past Nathan Morana and into the corner of the net.
Within five minutes, the lead was two. A ball in from the right targeted three Wolves players at the back post and when Emmanuel Airoboma tried to clear, he could only steer the cross high into his own goal.
Liverpool finally stirred and it was Ranel Young who led the way with some fine runs.
In the 20th minute, he sprinted away from everyone, only to be denied by goalkeeper Lewys Benjamin as he looked to go round him to finish.
