Liverpool vs Accrington Stanley LIVE!
Liverpool eased past League Two Accrington Stanley as Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s first-half goals before strikes from Jayden Danns and Federico Chiesa – his first since joining in the summer – 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, and Liverpool never looked back.
The hosts doubled their lead in the 45th minute when Alexander-Arnold found the most sensible corner with a shot from outside the box, scoring from inside the far post. Danns scored in the 76th minute, 4 minutes after coming on, and Chiesa scored in the 90th minute to seal the victory. Premier League leaders Liverpool beat third-placed Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
