PHILIPPE COUTINHO SCORED the only goal as Liverpool booked an FA Cup semi-final date with Aston Villa thanks to a 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers in their quarter-final replay at Ewood Park.
The Brazilian shot low across goal with 20 minutes left as Liverpool finally broke down Gary Bowyer’s resolute home side, who had earned a replay with a gritty 0-0 draw at Anfield.

Blackburn battled bravely, and they caused brief late panic when goalkeeper Simon Eastwood was sent forward for a corner in injury time.
But they could not deny the Premier League side, as Brendan Rodgers’ search for a first trophy as Liverpool manager remained on course.
Messi’s cracking curler and 2 from Suarez put Barcelona 7 points clear
Who said it: Saul Goodman or Martin O’Neill?

That’s great Aubameyang but I had you captained in fantasy football. Could have done with the extra 8 points.
@Conor O’Riordan: how many times did you have to flick back to the article to spell his name right :)
@Shane Doherty: I actually have the spelling memorised because I spent all afternoon yesterday cursing him in my fantasy football group chat!
