Purps claim thrilling 4-2 victory over Skelmersdale

CITY OF LIVERPOOL made it three wins from four matches with a brilliant 4-2 victory at Skelmersdale United on Saturday.

It was a sensational return to his former club for Purps manager Paul McNally and several of his players, and the visitors flew straight out of the blocks to take a firm grip on the points with a 17-minute triple salvo. 

First, Jack Hazlehurst opened the scoring in the third minute with a stunning long-range free kick which flew into the top corner before the home goalkeeper could move.
