Liverpool in FA Cup quarters

LIVERPOOL thumped Brighton and Hove 6-1 in their FA Cup fifth round match to advance to the quarterfinals.

The Reds warmed up for next weekend's League Cup final against Cardiff, beating second-tier Brighton with the help of three own-goals to join Sunderland, Bolton, Everton and Leicester in the quarterfinals.

Stoke, which lost 0-1 to Manchester City in last season's final, will meet Liverpool next.

Martin Skrtel and an own goal from Liam Bridcutt gave Liverpool a 2-1 halftime lead over a Brighton team coached by former Uruguay and Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet. Andy Carroll, with a rare goal, just his eighth of the season, a pair of second-half own goals and a late effort by Luis Suarez, who also missed a penalty, wrapped up a comprehensive victory.

Everton will play Sunderland.
