LONDON: Liverpool eased past League Two (fourth-tier) Accrington Stanley as Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s first-half goals and strikes from Jayden Danns and Federico Chiesa after the break secured a 4-0 win in Saturday’s FA Cup third-round clash.
Liverpool took the lead when Alexander-Arnold sent Darwin Nunez up the right just before the half-hour mark as Liverpool countered after an Accrington free-kick. The Uruguayan crossed to Jota in the box who scored with a tap-in.
The hosts doubled the goal count in the 45th minute as Alexander-Arnold found the top corner with a shot from outside the box. Danns scored in the 76th, four minutes after coming on, and Chiesa struck in the 90th minute to seal the win.
