  Conor Bradley – 7. The 18-year-old was beaten too easily for the Shrewsbury goal but made up for it by sending in the cross for the equaliser. He looked much better going forward. PA

  Ibrahima Konate – 6. The Frenchman lost Udoh when the striker scored but won the physical battle between the two. His distribution was poor but he was involved in the third goal. Reuters

• 

  Virgil van Dijk – 6. The Dutchman should have spotted the danger before the Shrewsbury goal and he was not as commanding as usual. He headed a good chance over the bar. Getty Images

• 

  Andy Robertson – 6. The Scot got up and down the line with his usual enthusiasm, sending in some good crosses. He was replaced by Tsimikas in stoppage time after taking a late knock. Getty Images

• 

  Fabinho – 8. The Brazilian was at ease in the midfield and set the tempo. He scored twice, the first an assured penalty and the second a rasping drive from close range. PA

• 

  Tyler Morton – 7. The 19-year-old used the ball cleverly and got better as the game went on. He always looked to open up the defence before he was replaced by Norris in stoppage time. PA

• 

  Elijah Dixon-Bonner – 7. The 21-year-old was bright and grew in confidence on his full debut. He helped out defensively and shone when he moved to the left wing. It took a splendid save by Marosi to deny him a goal. Replaced by Firmino in the 64th minute. Reuters

• 

  Kaide Gordon – 7. The 17-year-old became Liverpool’s youngest FA Cup scorer when he showed off his quick feet to equalise. His direct running troubled the defence but he tired as the game went on and was substituted by Frauendorf with nine minutes left. PA

  Max Woltman – 5. The 18-year-old from the Wirral found it hard to get into the game on his debut but put in a lot of effort. He had one shot deflected wide and was taken off at half time for Minamino. Getty Images

  SUB: Roberto Firmino – 7. The Brazilian joined the action in the 64th minute for Dixon-Bonner. His link play was excellent but his impudent backheeled goal was one of the game’s highlights. Reuters

  SHREWSBURY RATINGS: Marko Marosi – 5. The Slovak had little chance of stopping any of Liverpool’s goals. He made some good saves and the scoreline was a bit cruel to the goalkeeper. AP Photo

• 

  Matthew Pennington – 5. The 27-year-old struggled with the pace and movement of the attackers. He was dragged out of position too easily. PA

• 

  Ethan Ebanks-Landell – 3. The captain gave away a silly, avoidable penalty that surrendered the lead to Liverpool and ruined what was shaping to be a good performance. He was left flat on his back and embarrassed by Firmino’s goal. EPA

• 

  George Nurse – 6. The 22-year-old defended well and was confident on the ball. He made himself available as an effective outlet when teammates were under pressure. PA

• 

  Elliott Bennett – 5. The winger was unable to make much impact on the game. He played Udoh in for a chance but it was a rare flash of creativity. Replaced by Daniels with 12 minutes left. PA

• 

  Joshua Vela – 7. The 28-year-old tried to take the game to Robertson, with mixed results. He was sharp, worked hard to force Liverpool into errors and got into shooting positions. AP Photo

• 

  David Davis – 6. The 30-year-old put in plenty of yards and was effective in the first half. He was weary towards the end but had put in a shift. Getty Images

• 

  Luke Leahy – 6. The 29-year-old thought he had provided the perfect cross for Bowman to score but the striker was offside when he headed in. The midfielder drew some ‘Oles’ from the crowd after some clever footwork and passing. He was withdrawn in stoppage time for Caton. Reuters

• 

  Nathanael Ogbeta – 7. The 20-year-old supplied the cross for his team’s goal and gave Bradley a difficult time. His use of the ball was impressive. He received applause from the Kop when he departed with seven minutes to go and was replaced by Pierre. Getty Images

• 

  Ryan Bowman – 6. The 30-year-old toiled to carve out some half chances. He stuck at his task and was unfortunate that he was just offside for his disallowed goal. Bloxham replaced him with seven minutes to go. Getty Images

• 

  Daniel Udoh – 8. The Nigerian scored a splendid goal and was combative throughout. He could not outmuscle Konate but worried the defence with his movement and intelligence before he was replaced by Jannah with seven minutes left. Getty Images

•

• 

  SUB: Saikou Janneh – 6. The forward, on loan from Bristol City, was given a seven-minute cameo in place of Udoh. He almost capitalised on Kelleher’s late blunder. Getty Images

The 19-year-old was given a brief taste of the action for Leahy in stoppage time. The experience will do him good. Getty Images

Liverpool came from a goal down to win 4-1 against third-tier Shrewsbury Town in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday.

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho scored twice, including a first-half penalty, while Kaide Gordon and Roberto Firmino also got on the score sheet for the Merseyside club.

Shrewsbury's Daniel Udoh put the visitors ahead in the 27th minute after he slid in Nathanael Ogbeta's cross to score from close range, but Liverpool winger Gordon found the equaliser seven minutes later with a calm finish.

Brazil international Fabinho scored a penalty before halftime, sending Shrewsbury keeper Marko Marosi the wrong way, before Firmino added the third in the 78th minute with a brilliant back-heel effort from close range.

Fabinho completed his double in the 93rd minute, blasting the ball into the roof of the net from a tight angle as Liverpool won with manager Juergen Klopp back on the touchline following his recovery from Covid-19.
