George Johnston and Yan Dhanda each scored twice as Liverpool beat Chelsea 5-1 at Anfield to finish second in Premier League 2 Division 1.

Johnston headed in the opener from a 21st-minute corner and Bobby Adekanye doubled the lead before half-time.

Dhanda made it three with a penalty awarded for Reece James' handball, before Martell Taylor-Crossdale pulled one back for the visitors.

Liverpool were not to be denied, though, and late goals from Johnston and Dhanda sealed a comprehensive victory.

The Reds ended as runners-up, two points behind champions Arsenal, while Chelsea finished eighth.
