The Brazilian had not scored for approximately five-and-half years until he netted the only goal at Home Park to put the Reds through in the FA Cup
Liverpool stalwart Lucas Leiva might have been forgiven for thinking he would never score again.
The long-serving Brazilian had not netted since September 16, 2010 going into the Reds' FA Cup replay against Plymouth Argyle on Wednesday night, and was probably not the man Jurgen Klopp was expecting to make the difference in a tricky away tie.
But Lucas finally ended that remarkable drought by rising to meet a Philippe Coutinho corner in the first half and sent Liverpool into the fourth round in the process.
