Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praised Kaide Gordon's 'nose' for a goal after the 17-year-old became the club's youngster FA Cup scorer in the 4-1 win over Shrewsbury.
There was briefly a sniff of an upset when the League One visitors took a 27th-minute lead through Daniel Udoh with their first shot on target.
However, Gordon, who at 17 years and 96 days also became the club's second-youngest all-time scorer after Ben Woodburn, equalised with a composed finish and Fabinho's penalty put them in front just before half-time.

Substitute Roberto Firmino's backheel was his first goal at Anfield since December 2020 with Fabinho sealing their progress to a fourth-round meeting at home to Cardiff by lashing home the last kick of the game.
