    Aston Villa 1-4 Liverpool

    What a finish it was by Louie Barry.

    "My family will have been screaming at the TV," he said afterwards.

    "I've never been so proud of a team - from start to finish we gave it our all."

    For an hour at least, it was a little bit uncomfortable for Liverpool against an Aston Villa XI composed of seven under-23 players and four from the under-18s, after a coronavirus outbreak meant no first-team players were available.

    Three goals in five second-half minutes by Georginio Wijnaldum, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah ensured Jurgen Klopp's side progressed safely to the fourth round.

    But that was only after 17-year-old Louie Barry had brilliantly cancelled out Mane's opener.

    It was a brave performance by Villa's youngsters, of which four in the starting side had only recently turned 17, and midfielder Benjamin Chrisene was the youngest at just 16.
