The winner came just seven minutes later when Brannagan scored a long range shot from 20 yards out.

Samed Yeşil made a brief appearances replacing Sinclair but was unable to get his name on the scoresheet.

Yeşil now has four goals in eight U21 appearances for the Reds this season.

The 20-year-old is not fully match fit yet but has been playing more regularly since his return.
