Curtis Jones’ first goal in over a year paved the way for Liverpool’s progress into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 3-0 victory over Brighton at Anfield.

The academy graduate had gone 57 matches since scoring against Leicester on St Stephen's Day 2024, but with impeccable timing he marked his first start in six matches with an expertly-taken half-volley.
