Lucas shows his worth with rare goal as Liverpool earn narrow win at Plymouth

PLYMOUTH, England -- Three thoughts from Liverpool's 1-0 win at Plymouth in the FA Cup third round replay.

1. Liverpool win but the goals are drying up

It could have been a bad night for Liverpool, with the club facing their biggest FA Cup humiliation since losing to non-league Worcester City in 1959, but Lucas Leiva's first goal in six-and-a-half years spared their blushes and secured a 1-0 third round replay victory at Home Park.

A win is a win and the positives for Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will come in the shape of impressive performances by youngsters Ben Woodburn and Joe Gomez and another outing for Philippe Coutinho on his return from injury.
