Liverpool moved into the FA Cup fourth round with a 4-1 win over a youthful Aston Villa team Friday.
Sadio Mane gave the Reds a near-instantaneous lead with a precise header from Curtis Jones’ assist, but Louie Barry brought Villa back on terms with an assured finish four minutes before halftime.
Three goals in the space of five second-half minutes — from Georginio Wijnaldum, Mane and Mohamed Salah — ensured victory, however, and a place in Monday’s draw for the next stage.
