– Harvey Elliott scored on his return from injury to help Liverpool to a 3-1 victory over Cardiff in the FA Cup fourth round at Anfield on Sunday.
– Elliott has not featured for Jurgen Klopp’s side since September, but got Liverpool’s third of the day after goals from Diogo Jota and Takumi Minamino put the hosts 2-0 ahead.
– It was a slow start to the match, with both sides only having one shot each on target during the first half.

– Cardiff failed to clear again in the 75th minute, allowing Andrew Robertson to collect the ball and send it through to Elliot, who smashed it into the net.
– Cardiff pulled one back through Rubin Colwell in the 79th minute but the damage had already been done.
