Liverpool FC Reserves 3 - 1 Bolton Wanderers Reserves

Liverpool Reserves enjoyed a winning start to life at Prenton Park as Bolton were swept aside in the Barclays Premier Reserve League North.

Gerardo Bruna, Jordy Brouwer and Alex Kacaniklic were on target as the Reds bounced back from their defeat at Blackburn.

They took the lead after 15 minutes when Nikola Saric was tripped on the edge of the box and Bruna stepped up to slam in the free-kick.
