Liverpool striker showed his creative side in big win.
Liverpool youngster Paul Glatzel can’t stop scoring. This season he has a prolific record.
He scored his 25th and 26th goals of the season last night in a win for the Reds’ under-18s over Bury in the FA Youth Cup quarter-final.
What pleased his manager Barry Lewtas most was his assist at the end in a 5-1 win.
Glatzel could have scored his hat-trick, and instead laid on a pass for teammate Bobby Duncan to score.
Lewtas told Liverpool’s official website: “Paul is through on goal, one-v-one with the goalkeeper on a hat-trick and he squares it to Bobby to score.
“That epitomises some of the stuff we have been talking about with the boys internally about playing for the team. That was really evident out there and I’m really proud of that moment.
“I thought Paul was first class.”
Glatzel and Duncan have scored an incredible 51 goals between them this season.
The partnership could become a feature of Liverpool’s future in seasons to come.
Right now winning the FA Youth Cup is the priority.
Holders Chelsea are out, and Liverpool are bidding to win the trophy for the first time since 2007.
