Liverpool romped to a 5-2 victory over Norwich City on the FA Cup on Sunday, showcasing their unwavering pursuit of silverware despite manager Jurgen Klopp's upcoming departure. This dominant win keeps Liverpool's four-pronged trophy chase alive, adding to their League Cup final berth and Premier League lead.

Liverpool Cruises into FA Cup Fifth Round

Anfield witnessed a charged atmosphere as fans showered Klopp with love before kickoff, their rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" resonating with a newfound passion. Klopp, visibly moved, acknowledged the outpouring of support, urging his team to channel it into their performance.

Liverpool wasted no time heeding the call, with Curtis Jones opening the scoring in the 16th minute. Norwich briefly leveled, but Darwin Nunez restored the Reds' lead before halftime. Diogo Jota and Virgil van Dijk further solidified Liverpool's grip in the second half, silencing any doubts about their focus.

Borja Sainz offered a glimmer of hope for Norwich with a stunning goal, but Ryan Gravenberch extinguished it moments later, setting the final score at 5-2. This commanding victory sends Liverpool into the next round in the FA Cup, where they'll face either Watford or Southampton.

Other Thrilling Encounters

Beyond Anfield, the FA Cup offered more thrilling encounters. Manchester United, under Erik ten Hag, narrowly escaped an upset against Reading. Trailing 2-2 after a second-half comeback by the Royals, United relied on late goals from Antony and Rasmus Hojlund to secure their place in the next round. Their opponent? Bristol City or Nottingham Forest.

In other news, the Wolves vs. West Brom derby was marred by "dangerous and inexcusable" crowd trouble, prompting an investigation by the FA. The match was even briefly halted before Wolves emerged victorious 2-0. Elsewhere, Stuart Armstrong rescued a 1-1 draw for Southampton against Watford, forcing a replay to determine their fifth-round opponent.

The FA Cup magic continues, with Liverpool leading the charge for glory. Their Anfield triumph, fueled by fan adoration and unwavering determination, serves as a powerful reminder: the Reds, even under a changing guard, are hungry for more trophies. This year's FA Cup could be the perfect farewell gift for departing manager Klopp, and the Anfield faithful wouldn't have it any other way.
