CITY OF LIVERPOOL beat Kidsgrove 2-1 with a dramatic late winner at the Berry Street Garage Stadium on Saturday. 

Kev Ellison fired wide with a couple of early chances for the Purps before Kidsgrove’s Ernest Ofosu saw a straight red card after scything down Ste Milne just before half time.

In first half injury time James Steele missed a golden chance for the hosts from close range, after an inch-perfect ball from substitute John McGrath teed him up.
