Outstanding performance
Liverpool•MidfielderLiverpool cruised into the next round of the FA Cup with a commanding 3-0 victory over Brighton, showcasing their quality in the final third despite a scrappy first half. Curtis Jones broke the deadlock just before the interval with a thunderous strike from Milos Kerkez's cross, settling Liverpool's nerves after Brighton had frustrated them with disciplined defending. Dominik Szoboszlai doubled the lead with a sublime finish into the top corner from Mohamed Salah's assist, before Salah himself sealed the win from the penalty spot after being fouled in the box. The result maintains Liverpool's momentum in cup competition while Brighton's frustrations boiled over with four yellow cards, including Jan Paul van Hecke's booking for dissent after conceding the penalty.
