Curtis Jones’ sensational second-half strike earned a youthful Liverpool side a 1-0 win over Everton in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup.
Sunday’s 235th Merseyside derby at Anfield unfolded at a breathless tempo amid a raucous atmosphere - and was lit up decisively by Jones’ stunning 71st-minute goal.
Collecting Divock Origi’s pass, the Scouse Academy graduate arced a magnificent 20-yard shot over Jordan Pickford and in off the crossbar to elicit an eruption of celebration from the delirious home fans.
The assurance with which Jürgen Klopp’s much-changed team saw out the remainder of the tie was hugely impressive, and the Reds will be in the hat for Monday's fourth-round draw.
