Ibe,Ilori,Olomola Feature As Southampton U21s Thrash Liverpool
Published: March 21, 2016
Two players of Nigerian descent, Jordon Ibe and Tiago Ilori, were in action for Liverpool U21s as they suffered a 5-0 loss to their Southampton counterparts in the U21 Premier League on Sunday afternoon at Lookers Vauxhall Stadium.
While Ibe and Ilori started and played the entire ninety minutes of the contest, striker Olufela Olomola hopped off the bench in the 78th minute for Southampton with the outcome of the game already decided.
Jay Rodriguez inspired the Saints thrash the Reds by notching a hat-trick, with Jake Hesketh and Josh Sims also registering their names on the score sheet.
Jordon Ibe has seen his first team opportunities limited with Liverpool’s first-team in recent matches, with only a paltry two minutes of game time under his belt in the last four Premier League games and has played for the U21s in order to improve his fitness.
Portugal youth international Tiago Ilori is yet to play in the English top-flight in the ongoing campaign.
