Liverpool’s disastrous run to the season continued on Sunday as the holders were dumped out of the FA Cup after a 2-1 defeat at Brighton.
Liverpool are languishing in ninth in the Premier League, 21 points behind pacesetters Arsenal, and their FA Cup exit leaves the Champions League as the only remaining shot at a trophy this season.
Other premier league teams to advance to the FA Cup 5th round are Manchester City who saw off Arsenal, Manchester United beat Reading 3-1, Totenham saw off Preston 3-nil, Leeds beat Accrington Stanley 3-1 to book their place and Leicester also avoided a shock with a 1-0 win at Walsall.
