Liverpool v Shrewsbury Town Match Report, 2/4/20

Liverpool's youngest-ever side earned a place in the FA Cup fifth round as Ro-Shaun Williams' calamitous own goal gave the Reds a 1-0 win over Shrewsbury Town.

With Jurgen Klopp having refused to field any of Liverpool's first-team regulars in Tuesday's replay, as well as handing academy coach Neil Critchley the reins, a group with an average age of 19 years and 102 days battled to victory at Anfield.

Ultimately, it was a huge slice of good fortune which sealed the win - Shrewsbury defender Ro-Shaun Williams heading Neco Williams' crossfield ball into the visitors' net in the 75th minute.
