Liverpool 6 Brighton 1

righton scored three own goals to help send Liverpool into an FA Cup quarter-final against Stoke. The home side got off to the perfect start as Martin Skrtel nodded in after just six minutes from Steven Gerrard's corner. But Championship side Brighton hit back within 10 minutes as Kazenga LuaLua fired a stunning free kick low past Pepe Reina. Just as the visitors looked set to go in level at half-time however, Liverpool struck again. Luis Suarez saw his shot blocked and Glen Johnson's follow-up was inadvertently turned in to his own net by Brighton's Liam Bridcutt. And Carroll made sure of Liverpool's place in the last eight as he collected Stewart Downing's pass, slipped his man and rifled home in the second half before Bridcutt scored a second own goal as he turned in Gerrard's cross. The Seagulls saved the best till last however as Lewis Dunk controlled the ball with his chest before chesting the ball into the net. Luis Suarez then had the chance to add a sixth from the spot but his poor effort was saved only for the striker to make amends minutes later when he headed in Carroll's cross to make it six.
