Chelsea knock Liverpool out of FA Cup - LIVE! Latest news and result reaction

Liverpool were sent crashing out of the FA Cup as Chelsea secured an impressive 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge to reach the quarter-finals.

An error from Adrian saw the Liverpool goalkeeper spill a Willian shot into the corner of his net to hand Chelsea a 1-0 lead at half-time, while Ross Barkley's fizzing effort after the break sealed a deserved victory for Frank Lampard's Blues.

The result ends Jurgen Klopp's hopes of a treble-winning season, while Chelsea will be looking to keep their fine cup run going as Lampard looks to win his first silverware as Chelsea boss.

Billy Gilmour starred in midfield for Chelsea, while Kepa Arrizabalaga made a stunning triple save on his return to Lampard's starting lineup after being dropped for the previous six games.

The likes of Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi struggled in the absence of Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, leaving potential question marks for Klopp regarding the depth of his squad as Liverpool seek to retain their Champions League crown along with their near-certain Premier League title coronation.
