Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has spoken out after his side’s 3-1 win over Cardiff in the FA Cup on Sunday. The Reds entered the game hoping to make the fifth round of the competition. And they did just that, cruising to a straightforward win at Anfield.
Liverpool were too strong for Cardiff at Anfield.
Diogo Jota continued his electric form, with the Portugal international heading the hosts in front in the 53rd minute.
Takumi Minamino then doubled their advantage, with Harvey Elliot also on target before Rubin Colwill pulling one back.
Liverpool also gave Luis Diaz his debut, with the winger making his first appearance since joining from Portuguese giants Porto in January.
It was a good day for the Reds and for Elliot, in particular.

With Elliot making his first appearance since September, Klopp admitted he was delighted to have the youngster back.
“Harvey was unlucky with the injury but lucky with the whole process afterwards,” he added.
“Everything went really well. He did an incredible job, the medical department did an incredible job.
“He is a fearless boy and a great footballer so all these things.
“There are not all good things when you get an injury like that but when you are young you deal with it.
“And he did. Now he is back and it is really nice. Getting the goal was a touching moment.”
