"Both Robertson and Salah have been miles off their brilliant best this season, with the latter's form in particular having contributed to Liverpool's collective malaise. But, on a night when Arne Slot's side needed to deliver, it was fitting that it was two of their most revered stalwarts that stepped up to the plate."
"Having been criticised all season for their desperate lack of pace and dynamism, it was glaring that the Reds' second-half breakthrough came from two quick breaks -- finished off brilliantly by Robertson and Salah before Curtis Jones made sure of the victory with an excellent solo strike."
"That Liverpool's first two goals came within 95 seconds of each other reinforced the notion that Slot's men are best when they release the handbrake and go for the jugular."
Liverpool secured a 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup fifth round at Molineux Stadium, with Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah combining for two goals. Both players, who have underperformed this season, delivered when their team needed them most. Curtis Jones added a third goal with an excellent solo strike. Liverpool's breakthrough came from quick counterattacks in the second half, demonstrating their effectiveness when playing with pace and dynamism. The victory made Liverpool the first team to advance to the FA Cup quarterfinals. Wolverhampton's Hwang Hee-Chan scored a late consolation goal in stoppage time.
