UYL Wrap : Adekanye & Dele-Bashiru Shine Again; World Cup Star Eyoma FeaturesHow Nigeria youngsters fared on match day four in the UEFA Youth League on Wednesday, November 1.

Ibadan-born Netherlands youth-teamer Bobby Adekanye was impressive in Liverpool's 3-0 rout of Maribor at Prenton Park (Birkenhead, Merseyside). He was impressive yet again and came close to scoring in the 37th minute.

First-half goals from Jones and Woodburn saw Liverpool take control of the contest before McAuley increased the lead in the 86th minute, seven minutes after Adekanye was replaced.

In an entertaining clash at Stadio Pasquale Ianniello , Manchester City qualified for the knockout stages with two games yet to be decided after beating Napoli 5-3.

Tom Dele-Bashiru started and was involved for 77 minutes for the Citizens, teammates Ashinme Kigbu, Nathanael Ogbeta and Oluwafisayo Dele-Bashiru were not included in the match day squad.

City led 5-0 at the end of the first-half, thanks to goals from Richards (2), Zoubdi (2) and Garre but the Italians fought back after the intermission, scoring through Giuseppe Esposito, Scarf and Zerbin before running out of time.

Finally, in the English capital Tottenham Hotspur beat Real Madrid 3-2, with Tanganga, Edwards (pen) and Sterling on target for the home team.

Timothy Eyoma, fresh from England duty at the U17 World Cup, and the versatile fullback Keanan Bennetts logged ninety minutes each for Spurs.

Joshua Oluwayemi, Jubril Okedina, Chukwunonso Madueke and Moroyin Omolabi were not in the 18.
