Comments: Mikey Johnston competative debut, Anthony Ralston first senior start.

Brendan Rodgers on Mickey Johnston - "You can see the profile of Mikey Johnston, he is very similar to Scott Sinclair - slight, fast, dynamic. With more involvement he will become a bit more prolific and incisive but he was quick and direct and most importantly worked very hard to press the play."

Brendan Rodgers on Anthony Ralston - "I thought Tony was exceptional. You can see the maturity now in his performance; you would think he'd played 50 games already. He's a very good defender, very hard to beat, very strong, but he can play football and has the agility to get forward. It was an outstanding first start from him."
