Overview
- Liverpool advanced from the FA Cup fourth round with a comfortable 3–0 victory at Anfield.
- Curtis Jones broke the deadlock late in the first half before Dominik Szoboszlai doubled the lead and Mohamed Salah converted a penalty.
- Salah assisted Szoboszlai’s goal and delivered an influential display after a stretch of quieter performances.
- Arne Slot left Hugo Ekitiké and Ryan Gravenberch on the bench, with Jones starting at right back and scoring his first goal in a year.
- Brighton, who eliminated Manchester United in the previous round and entered on a poor league run, were well contained by Liverpool.
