FA Cup weekend round-up: Man City thrash Rotherham 7-0 in third round

Ruben Neves fired Wolves into the fourth round as they dumped Liverpool out of the FA Cup.

The midfielder struck to clinch a 2-1 win at Molineux just after Divock Origi cancelled out Raul Jimenez’s first-half opener.

It was Liverpool’s second straight defeat after their 2-1 loss at Premier League title rivals Manchester City.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp made nine changes and gave debuts to three teenagers and saw his shadow side produce a flat display.

But they were denied a replay by John Ruddy’s superb save when he turned Xherdan Shaqiri’s free-kick onto the post, although Wolves were good value for their win against the lacklustre visitors.

The last time these two sides met was just before Christmas, as Liverpool won 2-0 at Molineux in the Premier League - Mo Salah and Virgil Van Dijk with the goals.
