"They thought they were in front when Cody Gakpo nodded Szoboszlai's wonderful free-kick home, only for the offside flag to go up, before Jason Steele kept out Salah and Milos Kerkez - the latter with a vital fingertip save after the left-back blasted towards the far corner. And Kerkez was the catalyst when Liverpool made the breakthrough in the 42nd minute, with his wonderful, first-time cross being steered home by Jones, who was deputising on the opposite side of the back four."
"The Reds' second goal was a thing of beauty as Kerkez floated a cross-field pass to Salah, who cushioned the ball into the path of Szoboszlai with his instep. Racing onto the ball on the right side of the area, the Hungarian blasted a rasping shot into the far corner. Salah then got a goal - his first in domestic action since November - to go with his assist as he won and converted a 68th-minute penalty,"
Liverpool defeated Brighton 3-0 at Anfield to advance to the FA Cup fifth round. Curtis Jones opened the scoring in the 42nd minute after a first-time cross from Milos Kerkez. Dominik Szoboszlai added a second in the 56th minute after Mohamed Salah cushioned Kerkez's cross into his path, and Salah converted a 68th-minute penalty for his first domestic goal since November. Alisson made key saves denying Diego Gomez and Lewis Dunk, while Brighton had a disallowed goal and a late Rio Ngumoha effort ruled offside. Jones ended a 57-game scoring drought for Liverpool.
