Liverpool progressed to the next round of the FA Cup after beating Everton 1-0 at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp made nine changes to the side that won 2-0 against Sheffield United in their previous Premier League game. He fielded a team full of youngsters and it turned out to be a masterstroke, despite losing James Milner early in the game through injury.
Curtis Jones grabbed the Merseyside derby glory with a stunning curling 25-yard drive in the second half.
Everton created a few very good chances in the first half. However, the Liverpool defence stayed resolute and kept yet another clean sheet. Joe Gomez once again was brilliant for the Reds, and many Liverpool fans took to Twitter to praise his performance.
I gotta say. Joe Gomez been a Colossus. With and without Van Dijk. And that’s some feat. #LFC

The kids were incredible last night. Don’t forget the senior players who led them on the field. Adrian – superb saves. Gomez – brick wall. Lallana – the kapitan! Lord Origi – nice assist for Jones. Debut for Takumi Minamino
