57 min “As a Liverpool fan,” says Niall Mullen, “I was wondering: is there any way we can win this game by then not have to play any further games in the F.A. Cup? A good cup run, even a cup win does nothing for this team (I’m sorry to say). The Cup has been dead since Manchester United* killed it in 2000 so that England could host the 2006 World Cup (which to be fair was amazing so credit to the FA for choosing to play all the games in Germany).

A touch of class from Ruben Neves. He clipped the ball out wide to Vinagre an then ran across to make himself available for the return pass. He had just enough space to get the ball out of his feet and then, as Shaqiri closed in, hit a wobbling, dipping shot from 30 yards that beat Mignolet and flew just inside the near post.
