Liverpool booked their place in the FA Cup fourth round with a 4-0 home thrashing of League Two side Accrington Stanley on Saturday.
A blistering counter-attack unlocked Accrington's defence in the 28th minute when Darwin Nunez raced behind the visitors' backline after Trent Alexander Arnold's through ball before teeing up Diogo Jota to tap in from a few yards to put the home side 1-0 in front.
Alexander Arnold's sublime goal doubled Liverpool's lead before the break when the full-back, who was the Reds' captain for the day, launched the ball into the top corner on the stroke of half time.
Accrington were defiant, and did have a number of great chances in the second half, with boyhood Liverpool fan Josh Woods hitting the crossbar with a thumping strike, and Donald Love heading over the bar from a few yards out.
In the end, Liverpool put the match out of Accrington's reach when Jayden Danns tapped in the rebound from Federico Chiesa's saved shot, before the Italian scored his first goal for the club in added-time to make the final score 4-0.
