Liverpool secured their place in the next stage of the FA Cup, but it was not a pretty affair as Aston Villa youngsters proved a tough hurdle to overcome in the 4-1 win.
Due to a coronavirus outbreak in the Aston Villa first-team, the Reds were left to face a side with an average age of 18 years and 294 days for a place in the fourth round of the competition.
Many felt it would be a straightforward matchup for the champions, but Jurgen Klopp‘s side continued to make life hard for themselves despite a bright start with Sadio Mane‘s goal.
