"The Scotland captain broke the deadlock with his first goal since September and then crossed for Mohamed Salah to score on this ground for the second time in four days, all within the space of three second-half minutes. Curtis Jones extinguished the hosts' hopes by curling home a low shot from the edge of the area as the 2022 winners cruised into the quarter-finals for only the fourth time since reaching the final in 2012."
"Seventeen-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha made the most of a rare start with a man-of-the-match performance ahead of Robertson but it was the veteran left-back who produced the game-changing moments. The defender, who next week turns 32, proved he still has plenty to offer the team but with the status of his expiring contract remaining unresolved there may be a dwindling number of opportunities for him to contribute."
"After Tuesday's dreadful Premier League defeat here, the visitors -- and Slot in particular -- could not afford any more damage and were deserved winners. Ngumoha would benefit hugely from having such experience behind him as he continues his rapid development but, with Liverpool potentially looking at options for the left wing, that may be of less importance to the Reds hierarchy."
Liverpool defeated Wolves 3-1 in the FA Cup, with defender Andy Robertson delivering a standout performance by scoring his first goal since September and providing an assist for Mohamed Salah within three second-half minutes. Curtis Jones added a third goal to secure the victory. The win provided relief following Tuesday's poor Premier League performance at the same venue. Seventeen-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha impressed with a man-of-the-match display in a rare start, demonstrating his development potential. Robertson, approaching his 32nd birthday with an unresolved contract situation, proved his continued value despite being second-choice to Milos Kerkez. Liverpool advanced to the quarter-finals for only the fourth time since reaching the 2012 final.
