Liverpool FC progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 3-0 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield on Saturday.
Brighton had eliminated Manchester United in the previous round, but they were unable to contain Liverpool, who controlled the contest for long periods.
Liverpool were required to adjust defensively due to injuries, with Curtis Jones starting at right back. He opened the scoring by moving into the penalty area to meet a cross from Milos Kerkez and finishing from close range.
