Liverpool’s Second-Eleven Knockout Everton From FA Cup
Liverpool’s humiliation of local rivals, Everton stretched into the tenth year after a team of reserves knocked out Everton from the FA Cup third round at Anfield on Sunday. Everton has not won a match against local rivals Liverpool since October 2010.
A stunning strike from 18-year-old Curtis Jones gave Liverpool the crucial 1-0 win.
Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp made nine changes to his side, giving starts to three teenagers, while his Italian counterpart Carlo Ancelotti opted for a largely full-strength Everton line-up.
Everton had the better chances, with Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian foiling goalbound efforts from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Mason Holgate and Richarlison in the first half.
But the youthful Liverpool side played the more enterprising football.
Jones, a local-born academy product, delivered the killer-blow in the 71st minute with a superb curling effort into the top corner.
