Clinical Liverpool Reach FA Cup Fifth Round in Style.

Liverpool booked their place in the FA Cup fifth round with a commanding 3-0 victory
over Brighton at Anfield, delivering a polished display that underlined their growing
momentum.
Forced into an unfamiliar right-back role due to defensive injuries, Curtis Jones made an
immediate impact by bursting into the box to convert Milos Kerkez’s cross and hand the
hosts an early lead.
Brighton, who had knocked out Manchester United in the previous round, struggled to
cope with Liverpool’s intensity.
Mohamed Salah then took centre stage after the interval. The Egyptian set up Dominik
Szoboszlai with a clever cushioned pass before calmly converting a penalty to register
his 252 nd goal for the club and wrap up a comfortable afternoon.
Elsewhere, Sandro Tonali scored twice as Newcastle came from behind to defeat 10-
man Aston Villa 3-1. Mansfield stunned Burnley 2-1 to reach the fifth round for the first
time since 1975, while Manchester City saw off Salford 2-0.
