Liverpool and Manchester City are fighting tooth and nail at the top of the Premier League this season. The Reds could finish on 97 points and still finish second such is the nature of the fierce battle.

There was also very little to separate the two sides in last night’s FA Youth Cup Final.

Liverpool edged it. After coming from behind to equalise in the 86th minute, it was the Reds who came out victorious following a penalty shootout.

After winning the title, Liverpool supporters were full of praise for the youngster and took to Twitter to offer their congratulations. We rounded up the best tweets regarding the hotshot striker:
