West Ham under 21’s beat Liverpool under 21’s in the Barclays Premier League Under 21 Cup Semi Final this evening at Rush Green.
Martin Samuelson was drafted back from Peterborough for the evening. Liverpool opened the scoring on 12 minutes with Pedro Chirivella getting the early goal. Doneil Henry equalised from close range just after the break. At 90 minutes it was still 1-1 so went into extra time.
Marcus Browne also scores from close range to make it 2-1 in extra time. Liverpool’s Sheyi Ojo leveled it up shortly afterwards to make it 2-2. On 111 minutes West Ham made it 3-2 thanks to a great strike from Stephen Hendrie and that was enough for the Hammers to make it through to the U21 cup final!
