Liverpool’s UEFA Youth League clash with FC Porto took a violent turn on Wednesday evening as players were caught up in a brawl after the Reds clinched a penalty-shootout victory. Prodigious talent Ben Doak was among the chaos as cameras caught him walking away from the scuffle with a bloody lip.
Liverpool U19 hosted Porto U19 for a place in the UEFA Youth League quarter-finals and it was the away side that struck first through Jorge Meireles. The Reds were soon back on terms, however, when Melkamu Frauendorf equalised in the second half.
With the match still level, extra-time was required and the encounter began to boil over when two Porto stars received straight red cards in the 102nd minute.
It eventually went to a tense penalty battle which Liverpoll won 6-5, although a heated brawl quickly broke out thereafter.
