As soon as Liverpool’s defender Fabinho caught the leg of Edinson Cavani a yard outside the penalty area, the danger was so clear you could almost smell it.
They say that those kind of free-kicks are too close to be as threatening as they may look. Too difficult to get the ball up and down, apparently.
But Bruno Fernandes is a bit smarter than that. Round the side of the Liverpool wall, he sent his shot. Too much power for goalkeeper Alisson to get across. Too much accuracy for him to reach it.
And with that strike a classic FA Cup tie was won and lost.
