Liverpool began the second half in similar fashion as they played out the opening period by dominating much of the ball.<\/p>\n
Kone-Doherty produced more good play by finding Lucas Pitt in the area, though stopper Waller was equal to his effort.<\/p>\n
The winger then fired wide himself from a tight angle as the Reds stepped up their efforts in a bid to get themselves back into the game.<\/p>\n
Joe Bradshaw then hit a driving shot from distance wide of the goal after an error at the back from Crewe allowed him to pick up the ball in the final third.<\/p>\n
In the closing minutes, Kaide Gordon displayed clever feet inside the area as Liverpool pressed the hosts well, forcing them to give up the ball in their own box.<\/p>\n
His placed effort, though, fell inches past the far post in what was the last of the meaningful action.<\/p>\n
