Liverpool youngster Ngoo booked for Hillsborough tribute as Chelsea U21s thrashed

Liverpool U21 striker Michael Ngoo was booked in his side's demolition of Chelsea's youth team for removing his shirt to reveal a Hillsborough tribute.
After Ngoo scored the fourth goal in Liverpool's 4-1 rout he displayed a message on his undershirt which read '96 reasons 4 justice'.

Tribute: Michael Ngoo showed this message after he scored

 

Official guidelines indicate that referees should produce the yellow card when football shirts are taken off but most would have preferred it not to happen on this occasion.

The crowd, at Brentford's Griffin Park, booed the referee and cheered Ngoo for his tribute, which came in the week the Hillsborough Independent Panel released their report into what had really happened in the disaster.
It showed shocking evidence of a police cover-up as to the real reasons 96 fans died on April 15, 1989.
Another notable feature of the match was Marko Marin's return to action for Chelsea.
Marin, a £7million acquisition from Werder Bremen, was the club's first signing of the summer but a hamstring injury has kept him from Roberto Di Matteo's first-team plans.

While Oscar and, more dramatically, Eden Hazard have begun to make their mark in English football, Marin has been left frustrated.
But more frustration was the order of the day for the 23-year-old German left winger as Dermot Drummy's youth team were comfortably seen off by Liverpool's. 
Marin was withdrawn at half-time for Adam Phillip with the game goalless, but the Reds ran amok in the second half.

Goals from Jack Robinson, Conor Coady, Krisztian Adorjan and Ngoo were only answered with one from Patrick Bamford.
Liverpool played a young, promising German of their own in Samed Yesil. The 18-year-old couldn't find the net but he caused concern in the Chelsea defence, with one shot cleared off the line.
