The Brazilian got on the scoresheet for the first time in nearly seven years to send his side marching on, though Divock Origi missed a penalty.

Lucas Leiva scored a rare goal as Liverpool scraped past Plymouth Argyle 1-0 in their FA Cup Third Round replay on Wednesday.

Jurgen Klopp’s men headed into the clash at Home Park on the back of their 0-0 draw at Anfield last time out.

The Reds welcomed Philippe Coutinho back into the starting XI and it was his corner that found Leiva for the latter’s headed winner in the 18th minute.

Divock Origi then had the opportunity to put the wraps on an unconvincing Liverpool performance right at the death, but sent his penalty straight into the arms of Luke McCormick.

The Premier League side had not lost any of their last 19 FA Cup games against teams from the fourth tier or lower, but they were pushed hard in a competitive clash at a packed Home Park.

Jake Jervis’ speculative effort clipped the outside of the post prior to Origi’s spot-kick miss and that was the closest Plymouth came to an equaliser.
