Robertson, Salah and Jones were all on target as Liverpool got revenge for their shock Premier League defeat to the bottom club just three days before. The win books Liverpool a place in the quarter-finals as they look to end a rocky campaign with a piece of silverware. The Merseyside club are currently sixth in the Premier League but are still in contention for both the FA Cup and the Champions League. Just 72 hours after a painful 2-1 league defeat at the same ground heaped pressure on the Dutch coach, Slot was glad to leave Molineux with the right result and renewed momentum.
