Liverpool Advance To FA Cup 5th Round, Dortmund Loses

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

With Jurgen Klopp refusing 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 hugely fortuitous moment that sealed the win with unlucky Shrewsbury defender Ro-Shaun Williams heading Neco Williams' crossfield ball into his own net in the 75th minute.

Shrewsbury had a goal of their own ruled out by VAR prior to the opener, but a win at Anfield might have been too much of an ask for the league one side with Liverpool set to take in a trip to Chelsea in round five.

Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund's winning run came to a grinding halt as the club lost 3-2 to Werder Bremen - a major upset given that Werder are battling against relegation from the Bundesliga - in the German DFB Pokal.

Haaland came off the bench at 2-0 down at the start of the second half and went on to score his eighth goal in four games for Dortmund since signing in January. However, Werder soon restored their two-goal lead when Milot Rashica scored.

Dortmund's 17-year-old American Gio Reyna scored his first goal for the club in the 78th minute, and did it in style, beating two defenders before curling a shot from outside the penalty area into the top corner to give Dortmund a flicker of hope of an equalizer.

However, they ultimately failed to take their chances with Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus missing clear-cut chances to score before Haaland had a header saved in stoppage time to secure Dortmund's exit out of the competition.
