MATCH REPORTS

Opens in New Window

*The Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser*
Monday, 18 April 1898
LIVERPOOL V. ASTON VILLA At Anfield, before nearly 20,000 spectators. Liverpool had the best of the play at the start. Cleghorn passed nicely to Robertson who made off, and, though tackled by Evans, he eventually scored a fine goal. Although playing against the wind and sun the home team had much the better of maters, for play was all in the visitors’ half. Clever play by the home right led to Becton shooting grandly, but Whitehouse saved marvellously, and then Robertson centring in fine style, Walker headed a second goal. The Liverpool forwards were in great style, and M’Cowie centred, and Morgan headed a third goal. Liverpool led at the interval by three goals to none. In the second half, smart work by M’Cowie and Walker enabled the latter to work well down, but offside spoiled at the finish. The game became, very slow, Becton, however scored again from Robertson’s centre.
