A Liverpool academy player has appeared to punch a Man United youngster before later elbowing him.

Luca Furnell-Hill seemed to commit the foul as Liverpool U18s went up against United in the youth Premier League.

As Ethan Wheatley attempts to get past Furnell-Hill, the Liverpool player appears to punch him.

More footage then seems to show Furnell-Hill elbowing the Man United player, too.

Wheatley scored on the night alongside Jayce Fitzgerald, Ethan Williams and James Scanlon.

Meanwhile, Trent Kone-Doherty, Kieran Morrison and Michael Laffey were the scorers for the Reds.

On the back of their 4-3 victory, United continue to dominate the league having won 14 out of 14 matches.

They also have a 17-point lead over their rivals Manchester City, who are second.

Meanwhile, Liverpool will stay in third place with 24 points after the defeat by United.
