Reacton after Liverpool beat Shrewsbury town 1-0 to reach FA Cup fifth round

Reaction after Liverpool beat third-tier side Shrewsbury Town 1-0 to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup for the first time under Jurgen Klopp.

But Klopp, determined that he and his senior players should have the week off during English football’s new mid-season break, wasn't at Anfield.

Instead, under-23 coach Neil Critchley led Liverpool's youngest ever team - with an average age of 19 years, 102 days - for the fourth-round replay.

An own goal by Ro-Shaun Williams in the 75th minute settled the match and keeps alive Liverpool's hopes of a treble.

The Reds are closing in on winning the English league title for the first time in 30 years, and are through to the last 16 in their defence of the Champions League.

Liverpool will play Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round.
