Liverpool set up an FA Cup semi-final clash against Aston Villa after edging Blackburn 1-0 thanks to Philippe
Coutinho’s winning goal at Ewood Park.
The Merseysiders grabbed the winner 20 minutes from time
in the quarter-final replay thanks to a fine individual goal by
the Brazil international.
Two days ago, in the wake of the crushing 4-1 defeat to
Arsenal which put a huge dent in the Reds’ Champions
League hopes, Coutinho had claimed: “Winning the cup
would save our season.”
Jordan Henderson split the Championship side’s defence
for Coutinho, who set himself before rifling his right-footer
into the far corner.
Liverpool were very nearly denied victory at the death by
Rovers goalkeeper Simon Eastwood, but were thankful
to Simon Mignolet for making a vital stop.
Playmaker Coutinho’s effort helped the seven-time winners
reach their 24th FA Cup semi-final and set up a Wembley
meeting with Villa on Sunday 19 April with only Arsenal (27),
Manchester United (27) and Everton (25) having appeared in more.
