Liverpool, Jan 11 || Liverpool advanced to the fourth round of the Emirates FA Cup with an impressive 4-0 win over Accrington Stanley on Saturday afternoon at the Anfield Stadium. The Reds dominated the match, showcasing their attacking flair and solid defense.
The breakthrough came in the 30th minute when a quick counter-attack turned an Accrington corner into a Liverpool goal. Trent Alexander-Arnold, captaining the side for the day, played a precise ball down the right flank to Darwin Núñez. The striker surged forward and squared the ball for Diogo Jota, who calmly tapped it in from close range.
Alexander-Arnold, who has been under scrutiny in recent games, unleashed a stunning strike from outside the box, curling the ball into the top corner to give the Reds a comfortable cushion heading into the break.
In the second half, Stanley looked for the one goal back with a Josh Woods header deflected for a corner and Woods got on the end of the Whalley corner and crashed an effort against the crossbar on 57 minutes.
