Aquilani makes Liverpool debut

Aquilani played 15 minutes for the reserves that managed to beat the Sunderland reserves 2-0 at Prenton Park.

The 25-year-old joined Liverpool while still recovering from a summer ankle operation.

It is unlikely that Aquilani will feature in the game against Manchester United on Sunday.

Daniel Pacheco and Robbie Threlfall scored the goals for the Reds.
