Liverpool easily qualified for the knockout stages of the FA Cup by dominating (3-1) Cardiff (D2), Sunday February 6. Faced with an opponent more concerned about his maintenance in the Championship and who had rejuvenated his eleven, the Reds made the difference in the second half by Diogo Jota (1-0, 53rd), Takumi Minamino (2-0, 68th) and Harvey Eliott (3-0, 76th) back from a serious left ankle injury in September, before Rubin Colwill (19) reduced the score (3-1, 80th).
