Mo Salah was back to his best as Liverpool saw off Brighton 3-0. Read Andy Hunter’s match report here.
Elsewhere, Newcastle came from behind to beat Aston Villa 3-1, but the big story was the questionable officiating. Aston Villa’s first goal was offside, Newcastle should have had a penalty and Lucas Digne was lucky to stay on the pitch.
Louis Reed’s brilliant knuckleball free kick gave Mansfield their first win over a top flight side since 1969 and ensured they advanced to the FA Cup fifth round for the first time in over 50 years.
Louis Reed scores ANOTHER stunner! 😱🤯
