Liverpool cruised into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 3-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday night.
Goals from Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah, from the penalty spot, was enough for Arne Slot's side who are aiming to win their second FA Cup in four years this term.
The ECHO was at Anfield to run the rule over proceedings. Here's how they scored on the night as the Reds moved into the next round.
**ALISSON BECKER - 7**
Made a vital stop in first-half stoppage time having been a virtual spectator, which is the mark of a quality goalkeeper. Another save to deny Dunk was excellent in the second period.
**CURTIS JONES - 8**
Took his goal really well and barely put a foot wrong in the unfamiliar role. Moved to midfield for the final 15 minutes or so and will be pleased with his night's work.
**IBRAHIMA KONATE - 7**
Continued his decent run of form with another game of football without putting a foot wrong. Seems to be enjoying his football once more.
**VIRGIL VAN DIJK - 7**
Largely untroubled throughout. Won his headers when he needed to and got his blocks in when the time came. A second successive clean sheet. Imperious.
**MILOS KERKEZ - 8**
Rasping drive late in the first half brought a really good save and his cross for the goal was on the money. Is growing in stature by the week at Liverpool.
**DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI - 8**
Restored to his favoured midfield position and was sharp and mobile. Pressed like he meant it and took his goal superbly. What a player he has become for Slot.
**ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER - 6**
Made an important block from Koustoulas, who was lining up one in the first half. Won a lot of his battles and helped get the hosts on the front foot, particularly second half.
**MOHAMED SALAH - 7**
Was always a threat all game and his cushioned pass for Szoboszlai's goal was excellent. Tied the Brighton defence in knots to win the penalty, which he smashed home.
**FLORIAN WIRTZ - 5**
A little off the pace after starting a third game in six days. A quiet first half brought an improvement after the restart but this was a relatively subdued outing for the Germany international.
**CODY GAKPO - 6**
Always willing to run at the Brighton defence and took his 'goal' well only to see the offside flag raised. Pass for Salah in build-up to second goal was impressive.
**FEDERICO CHIESA - 5**
Struggled to get into the game through the middle and was unable to get in behind the Brighton backline. Will feel this chance passed him by.
**Subs**
**JOE GOMEZ - 6**
On for more minutes off the bench and slotted in at right-back seamlessly. Good header late on above Mitoma to clear. Needs to stay fit now.
**HUGO EKITIKE - 6**
Quiet cameo but that is no bad thing right now having been used so often. Will feel the benefit of a few days off now.
**RIO NGUMOHA - 6**
Finished off a sweeping move with aplomb only to see the offside flag raised. Teenager looks a remarkable talent at 17.
**CALVIN RASMAY -**
On for a rare appearance in the final few minutes. Put in one teasing cross.
**TREY NYONI -**
Young player has a big future but was only on a handful of minutes here.
