Liverpool cruised into the FA Cup fifth round after beating Norwich City at Anfield.
Just days after Jurgen Klopp announced his shock plans to leave the club at the end of the season, his side kept their dreams of a Wembley date with destiny alive.
Curtis Jones made the breakthrough with a simple header,,, before Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, Virgil van Dijk,,, and Ryan Gravenberch also found the back of the net.
The visitors briefly threatened to pull off a cup upset after Ben Gibson’s first-half equalizer, but Gabriel Sara’s thunderbolt proved to be a mere consolation.
LIVERPOOL (4-3-3)
Alisson 6
I had little chance with either of Norwich’s goals during a comfortable afternoon.
Conor Bradley 7.5
A display bursting with energy culminated in two assists for the starlet.
Ibrahima Konate 6 (off 54 minutes)

Another tidy performance up against the physical Ashley Barnes.
Joe Gomez 6 (off 54 minutes)
He came close to finally scoring his first goal. An assured, steady showing. Subbed.

Superb. Kept the hosts ticking in midfield and delivered at both ends. Subbed.
Ryan Gravenberch
He had a bright outing and deserved his late goal after coming close on two occasions.
Curtis Jones 7 (off 54 minutes)
He took his chance brilliantly and continues to develop his all-round game. Subbed.
Diogo Jota 7
Pressed relentlessly. Involved in the second goal before scoring the third.

He hit the outside of the woodwork and tucked home his goal with aplomb.
