Liverpool set up an FA Cup fourth-round game with West Ham United by seeing off Exeter City 3-0 in their replay on Wednesday night at Anfield.
Joe Allen’s early goal, a sublime second-half finish by substitute Sheyi Ojo and a late Joao Carlos Teixeira effort were enough to defeat the determined League Two club and secure progress to the next stage.
The reward for Jurgen Klopp’s Reds is a meeting with fellow Premier League club West Ham on January 30 at Anfield.
Klopp opted for wholesale changes to his line-up and, as in the first meeting at St James Park 12 days ago, his faith was largely entrusted to youth, though Allen, Christian Benteke, Jordon Ibe and Simon Mignolet provided their experienced presence, and Jose Enrique wore the captain’s armband.
