'Job done, let's go home' - Klopp happy to avoid extra time with narrow Plymouth win

Lucas Leiva sent the Reds into the fourth round of the FA Cup, sealing a replay victory - and their manager was glad to avoid extra time

Jurgen Klopp was happy to avoid extra time after Liverpool edged a tight FA Cup third-round replay 1-0 at Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Wednesday.

Lucas Leiva's first goal since September 2010, a header from Philippe Coutinho's left-wing corner, proved to be enough to book a fourth-round tie at home to Wolves.

Klopp felt his side could have won more comfortably, with Divock Origi seeing a late penalty saved by Plymouth captain Luke McCormick, and that Liverpool should have had another spot-kick when Daniel Sturridge went down in the box.
